Красные стрекозы

These photos of red dragonflies and damselflies were taken in the local peatbog near my home town in The Netherlands, where these creatures like to roam.

Having an overview of "all the red ones" should be convenient for myself as a reference for identifying them.

The ruddy darter (Sympetrum sanguineum):

The large red damselfly (Pyrrhosoma nymphula)

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO200, f8, 1/100s}

Another large red damselfly:

The common darter (Sympetrum striolatum):

The vagrant darter (Sympetrum vulgatum):

The small red damselfly (Ceriagrion tenellum):

This last photo is actully the very first photo I ever posted on Steemit, many moons ago!
