I Need An ID

I stepped outside yesterday and spotted this interesting creature. I asked him to wait while I went back and got my camera, and although, he wasn't in the same spot, he hadn't left either. He was very patient while I took his picture and then he had to be on his way. Unfortunately he left before I had a chance to check his ID so I don't know his name. Can anybody help me?


Can you believe the transparent sections of his wings?!

    very cool shot of a neat looking dragonfly...i 'researched' it and came up with this:

    Appears to be a twelve-spotted skimmer (Libellula pulchella; Odonata: Libellulidae), a common dragonfly in much of North America, including southern Canada.

    I agree with junkdrawers. That was going to be my guess.
