Description

Thanks for viewing !! :o) - One more female Common Darter Sympetrum striolatum. Wingspan: 57 mm Bodylength: 38 mm A relatively small dragonfly, with complex and variable coloration as the insects mature. Mature males become orange or pale red with broad yellow stripes on sides of thorax; immature males and females are yellow, with some mature females becoming orange or greyish. In comparison with other darters, the Common Darter has only a very tiny amount of yellow at the wing bases, yellow stripes along legs and a fairly parallel-sided abdomen. Have a wonderful wednesday !! :o) - Thanks for all your wonderful comments on my last upload, "Close-up" !! -- Many thanks, Jeroen

I admire your skill in getting such close and crystal clear shots! Just wonderful!! Did you put some glue on the grass stem to keep him there long enough? :))
