SOME LATE DRAGONFLIES
(posted a few photos which I think maybe red veined darter any ideas please this might be the first record for this site and myself or are they just common Alun Hughes)
one week ago
From the beginning of the season four spotted chaser
Hi Alun, Very nice find. Yes the dragonfly in your photo is a female Red-veined Darter. The blue colouring to the lower part of the compound eyes is a really useful feature for identifying both male and female RVD. Nice photo too.
