If you are looking for general Texas odonate information, I suggest you visit John Abbott's ODONATA CENTRAL, the definitive Texas ode website.  Hey, while you are at it, visit NJODES, the New Jersey web site (As you probably guessed, it's mine!)

Meanwhile, I have posted a number of photos here of odes that I have encountered in south Texas.
