Unidentified Dragonfly

This poor dragonfly in Clarkston, MI could not complete its escape from its water larvae skin.  Ants were attacking it when I found it.  I got the ants off and put it in a location farther from the ants, but it was stuck to the old skin and it looked like its wings had dried wrong.  It was a hot, dry day today, about 86 degrees.
