Spot-winged glider
The spot-winged glider, or Pantala hymenaea, is very similar in shape to the wandering glider, but bears some distinctive differences. Things to look for: Medium-large dragonfly, just shy of 2 inches. Abdomen grey and black, appearing mottled, and tapering to a point. Wings long and broad, mostly clear with a distinctive dark round spot at the base of the hindwings (look for the spot in the center of the hindwings right next to the body in the image above). The location and shape of the spot spot is only seen in this species. Males and females similar. Found throughout most of the U.S. and southeastern Canada
