After last week, there was an almost startling abundance of Anisoptera here.  Some notables:

Gomphus exilis - extends seasonal record for Cape
Anax junius- many exuviae, indicating large emergence
Lib. auripennis - first time seen at pond. 1 caught in woods previously.
Lad. exusta- almost none
Lad. deplanata - very few, but more than exusta.  I would judge I saw 20 at the pond.  On the best day, July 1, there were that many at one time on 1 1/2' square board on shore and many, many more in pond.
C. martha- 1st sign.  Thought I saw 1 or 2 pairs besides the 2 specimens caught.
Argla violacea. - 1st time seen at Flashy
E. aspersum - 1st of season
L. vigicax- I don't recall such an abundance of this sp. at Flashy
