This dragonfly-species has a huge colour distinction between the male which is strong vivid red, while the female has a yellow-brown colour.

Great, vivid tones and light on her wings and body. As she lets down her wings looks to be sad :-) But I think she has no reason for it ... She was photographed by an excellent explorer :-)Hugs, kati
