individual ovipositing, grabbed by a connected pair - I'm still not quite sure what is going on here but she's at the bottom. Looks like two males above?

Had been paused along the west branch for some time, admiring the thick vegetation in a still pool near a downed tree with three trunks crossing the stream (just N of the mid cut), brought the bins up to scan the vegetation and saw a blur come across FOV. Darner remained, hovering often in one place for 10-20 seconds. My first Shadow Darner, perfect setting and grateful mindset for the encounter.
