Corporals

Corporals

genus: Ladona

Corporals

This is a small genus with three species in North America.  This genus has sometimes been considered a subgenus of Libellua. These dragonflies are medium in size, and  are brownish in body color.  The thorax is somewhat hairy and lacks any lateral stripes, however the dorsal thorax shows two "shoulder stripes".  The wings are clear except for basal brown spots and may be tinged with yellow. Named for the frontal stripes which don't really resemble a corporal's stripes.
