As for the type, I am going to guess a Green Darner.
5000 tokenz up for grabs

Actually I'm gunna say it's a male blue-spotted hawker. There, done.

No more guesses for me, that's what I think it is.

I get lots of dragonflies in Summer, they buzz around the pool lol, they're funny things, I always duck though because in the distance they look like bees flying at you, because they also love our pool

they'll be eating your mosquito's and flies
Google is so smart :24:
ok..here goes,if these 2 theories are right no-one will get tokenz.....and it might be why the dragonfly society haven't replied,they might be going more in depth to be certain
the canon forum
Interesting. it might be a parasitic fungus (google for Cordyceps and be surprised..) .
the dragonfly forum
I can't answer this with any certainty, but the object extending from the end of the abdomen looks like it could potentially be a fungal fruiting body to me. Fungal pathogens can sometimes take a while to kill invertebrates, and have been previously recorded attacking some dragonflies and damselflies (it seems that the insects have usually been found dead, but often still 'gripping' onto a perch).
Potentially this could be a very interesting discovery (if I'm right), but if it is a fungus I doubt that it can be identified without a specimen (ie. collecting the dragonfly, if it is still there, and sending it off to a fungi expert for investigation under a microscope).
