Ruddy Darter (female)

My picture shows a recently emerged female ruddy darter, a dragonfly-species that can be found in temperate regions throughout Europe, as far east as Siberia and as far south as the northern Sahara.

The ruddy darter has a huge colour distinction between the male which is strong vivid red, while the female is colored yellow.

Dutch name : Bloedrode heidelibel (wijfje)
German name : Blutrote Heidelibelle (weibchen)
