I am in western Louisiana with some members of DSA (Dragonfly Society of the Americas). One of our targets today was Sarracenia Spiketail which was described new to science in 2011 by J. Abbott and T. Hibbitts. I had been fortunate enough to work with Abbott on this species for several years, but it is a species that is not very well known. Today a number of folks got to see the species. This is a female.

I was with John and Kendra Abbott and other researchers while we were netting this species, taking DNA samples, marking the individuals and releasing them. image 1 unmarked male perched on Yellow Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia alata). The genus of the pitcher plant is where Corgulegaster sarracenia got its name. image 2 unmarked male image 3 male after it had been netted, DNA sample taken and released again. Note the yellow dot on the wing which alerted us not to catch this one again.
