I have a dragonfly for you to identify if you would like! Located in Western Washington—I hope the pictures are clear enough for an ID but if not, they are still a beautiful friend.

What a lovely friend! Best I can do is say it's a darner in the family Aeshnidae :)

Ohhh I hope they made lots of babies together! Looks like a couple of darners in the genus Aeshna.
