Pronghorn Clubtail
Gomphus graslinellus
The Pronghorn Clubtail (Gomphus graslinellus) is a widespread dragonfly of the mid west. It occurs from parts of Canada to Texas. The first shot was taken in July, 2004, in Winneshiek Co., Iowa with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender and flash.
The photo shown here was taken with the same equipment as the first shot, but in Kerr Co., Texas in April, 2005, as this male Pronghorn rested on the bank of the Guadalupe River.
The next three shots were taken with the same equipment as used previously, along a creek in the Texas Hill Country in Bandera Co., in May, 2005. The shot of the Pronghorn in the obelisk position is the same individual as the one on the leaf.
The male Pronghorn Clubtail shown here was netted along Indian Creek, Franklin Co., Missouri, in June, 2009.
The male Pronghorn Clubtail in the next 2 shots was at the same location as the individual held in hand previously. These 2 images were taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III and EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender and 580 flash.
The next 3 shots show a male Pronghorn Clubtail along the Fourche Renault Creek, Washington Co., Missouri, in June, 2009. The same gear as just described was used to take these images.
The female Pronghorn Clubtail on the right was very teneral and had likely just emerged from its exuviae along the banks of Cedar Creek in the Ouachita National Forest, McCurtain Co., Oklahoma, in May, 2011. This image was taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV and a Sigma 50-500mm lens and Canon 580 flash.
The male Pronghorn Clubtail on the right was near the Caddo River in Montgomery Co., Arkansas, in May, 2011.
The next four images of a male Pronghorn Clubtail were taken along Brushy Creek, near Vanderpool, Bandera Co., Texas, in April, 2012.
