That's a female - see a male at, for instance, http://www.museum.state.il.us/ismdepts/zoology/collections/odonata/roll01/Anax_junius.jpg
See both genders at, for instance, http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/huntwild/wild/images/arthropods/grn_darner_egglaying_shade_jdavis.jpg

What a well taken lovely clear picture of what for me is a very rare sighting of any kind of Dragon Fly. They are a fascinating subject. This one has lovely colours.
