    Spreadwing damselfly - Lestidae: genus Lestes (possibly L. inaequalis, Elegant Spreadwing) from Wisconsin.
    Courting pair of Fiery-eyed Dancer damselflies, Argia oenea, from Belize. The male on top will remain in this position for some time before copulation. If he is deemed suitable by the female, she will reach back with her abdomen and accept his sperm.
    Skimmer dragonfly, Orthemis sp. (possibly O. discolor) from Panama. I caught this one napping during a night walk.
