| The Band-winged Dragonlet (Erythrodiplax umbrata) is a medium sized dragonfly which occurs in the U.S. mainly in Texas and south Florida. The image shown here was shot in June, 2003, in Burnet Co., Texas with a Canon EOS 10D and EF 70-200mm F/2.8 L IS lens with a 2X extender and 550 EX flash. |  |
| The perfect confusing dragonfly might be a young Band-winged Dragonlet which does not look much like the adult. This one was photographed in Starr Co., Texas in November, 2003, with a Canon EOS 10D and an EF 70-200 mm F/2.8 L IS lens with a 2X extender and flash. |  |
| The Band-winged Dragonlet shown here was at Santa Ana N.W.R., Hidalgo Co., Texas, in October, 2004. This image was taken with a Canon EOD 1D Mark II and EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender and 550 flash. |  |
| Here are two more shots of the perfect "confusing dragonfly" since as immatures, the Band-winged Dragonlet does not appear to look like the adult. The one shown here was at Lockhart, Caldwell Co., Texas, in August, 2007. This image was taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III and EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender. The next shot, also from August, 2007, was taken in Lewisville, Denton Co., Texas with the same gear. |  |
