Georgia river cruiser (Macromia illinoiensis georgina)

It's been a good season for river cruisers - and some are still flying. Georgia river cruiser is the subspecies of Swift/Illinois river cruiser (see shot below). Markings on the two are quite different. Both are flying in my area out of Little River to our south, and the larger Etowah River just north of us.

Have a great Friday!
