Re: [tn-moths] off-topic--dragonfly from putnam county, tn, 29 august 2010Hi Harold, Thanks; I was not aware of the difference in the sexes; so much to learn, so little time.

The male hase entirely orange wings, but the female has clear wings except for variable brown markings, generally a basal spot and a band at the nodus. I have found the females to be slightly larger than the males, but they are all about one inch long maximum.
