Another Smiling Dragon~

This past Saturday, we took a drive into Lousiville and visited a park with a nice pond.  Along the pond is a nice path and I walked it, while Bill was walking our pup-cub.  I could only get close to one Dragonfly, which to the best of my knowledge, checking out the Dragonfly identification guide for Kentucky is a female Banded Pennant.  The point is... it was smiling at me and I am sticking with that story ;)

* Note...The guide below is all that I have to go on.  When I have contacted these people in the past, they have each time, said to refer to this guide.  Even in doing this, mistakes still keep being made.  Once again thank you Randy Emmit who says it is not a female Banded Pennant, as was shown in guide below, but a male Halloween Pennant. Our KY guide does not even show such an insect for our region called a Holloween Pennant.  Those Dragons do get around then ;)
