Enallagma geminatum: dark eye with blue band (see Paulson, 2011: Dragonflies and damselflies of the east)

According to Paulson (D., 2011: Dragonflies and damselflies of the East . Princeton Field Guides), only Enallagma geminatum has dark eye with blue band, which therefore gives ID to nos 1, 2, and 4.

No. 3 may be more problematic because of the angle of the photo.

Edited to add: But strangely ...

Assuming Ontario Odonata vol. 5 p. 5 (Table 1) is correct in saying that only A. cornutus has a dorsal marking on S8, then these should be A. villomphus...

Many thanks for feedback and prompting me to do further research.

Part 2 (No. 4 of 4)

These four have been on iNaturalist since I saw them with no takers. The only "Bluet" I have had identified from the area thus far is Enallagma geminatum.

I should be very much grateful for any help.

Thanks

That ID appears to be correct.

Many thanks!

Grateful for any thoughts on this male Sympetrum. My best guess is Sympetrum rubicundulum.

Greetings from Cambridgeshire, UK!

Sorry I missed this when I signed up a few days ago.

My main interest in joining is to obtain and/or firm-up some IDs of insects photographed on a recent trip to Richmond Hill ON, Canada. I also use iNaturalist, BugGuide.net and (for UK stuff) iSpot (Open ...

Seen on Mill Pond (Park), Richmond Hill, ON, 27 July 2023.

Grateful for confirmation or other suggestions.

ID'd thus far by one person on iNaturalist.

Many thanks

Thanks @livingplanet3. What "concerns" me is the apparent lack of clear definition of markings on the UPS forewing.

Not far from Jonge (1) and MacKenzie (25)

I have quite a lot of insect photos from a recent trip to Richmond Hill, ON, Canada.

I will start with this 'grass skipper', but please let me know whether users prefer multiple photos per post and I will do by groups.

Thanks a lot
