These are slightly easier to identify than skippers.

      100% on the dot!!! Great shots, beautiful odonates. I like the simple, little Stokes paper back. For more complicated and more variety, the Mass. one. The Stokes is good enough. Good job!!!!

        I have Stokes, online pictures, and several other books. It doesn’t always help me get it right.
