Common darter (Sympetrum striolatum) (3)
This is the last i the series. The adult is fully emerged and the wings have unfolded. Shortly after she opened her wings, and made sure they were thoroughly dried before flying off. If you look carefully (I have enhanced the abdominal and thoracic areas slightly), you can make out the tracheal system.
