Sympetrum pallipes

These are quite small. Not quite 1.5". I was trying to get a shot of a kingfisher & took these ( and the Spreadwing Damsel) with the long lens. I went home to get a macro lens & of course they had all left. Including the bird. (as well as the light)

Very well done, Victor. Nice detail and sorry you missed the kingfisher but not all was lost with these to show!
