2002 Annual Meeting of The Dragonfly Society of the
Americas - Page 3Right - a special cordulegastrid (spiketail) from the Cranberry Glades Wildlife Area, Monongahela National Forest, West Virginia, a female Cordulegaster bilineata (Brown Spiketail). This species was flying with Cordulegaster maculata (Twin-spotted Spiketail).
Left - from left, Bill Mauffray of Florida, Sid Dunkle from Texas, and Carl Cook, from Kentucky, in the parking lot at Lewisburg, West Virginia. Thinking thoughts of gomphids (clubtails) and spiketails...
Left - Cordulegaster maculata (Twin-spotted Spiketail), another spiketail from Cranberry Glades. Right - Ellis Laudermilk, Kentuckian and Odonatist.
Left - Epitheca (Tetragoneuria) canis (Beaverpond Baskettail), a female corduliid (emerald) from Cranberry Glades. Note the smoky yellow-brown wing membranes.
Right - Dennis Paulson, of Seattle, Washington, current president of DSA. Obviously Dennis is thinking about his extraordinary luck - he will be leaving the DSA meeting only to travel to Peru to study dragonflies in that wonderful country!
Left - Jerrell Daigle of Florida sitting on a rock in the Greenbrier River in West Virginia. He probably wore himself out netting lots of gomphids (clubtails).
