Cobra Clubtail Gomphus vastus

A fine clubbed dragonfly. Likes larger rivers and lakes and the shorelines nearby. Very large club in the male adult. Often holds it high in the obelisk position. Grey green markings forward. Two forms in the male. This is the darker clubbed form, it is less marked overall.

This is a juvenile male that has not quite acquired full color. The yellows will brighten and the club will expand even more. Very nice even at this age.

A somewhat brighter dark form male from Pulaski County.
