Description

Thanks for viewing !! :o) - I can finally tell you what the species is *sigh*, its a female Common Darter. Which looks very similar to a female Ruddy Darter. Only the Ruddy Darter has all black legs while the Common Darter has yellow longitudinal stripes along their black legs :o) - Common Darter Sympetrum striolatum, female. 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 an excellent SUNday !! :o) - Thanks for all your wonderful comments on my last upload, "Frontal View 1" !! -- Many thanks, Jeroen [Focal length: 27.3 mm - 1/231.9 - f/4.6]
