Widow dragonfly

I thought this guy looked like the Widow pictured in my field guide, except the one in the book did not have the white areas on the wing. Thanks to Valerie’s Austin Blog Collection I figured out that what I had pictured was in fact a young, male Widow dragonfly and that, except for the white on the wings, young males are colored identical to female Widows.
