Midland Clubtail (Gomphus fraternus)

This is a fairly common clubtail found throughout Wisconsin. Males have a pretty large club and the single best ID feature is the presence of a small yellow top spot on segment 8 but none (usually) on segment 9. It also has yellow spots on the sides of the club (spot on segment 8 reaches forward rim of segment) and no black on face.
