[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sympetrum depressiusculum, a species of late summer. Picture shows a female Spotted darter

Most localised and poorly dispersing Sympetrum species. Extends to the eastern fringe of the Asian continent where, paradoxically in a European context, it occasionally occurs invasively in Japan. Vulnerable to changes in management.

Wonderful macro, great colors, good POV.

Hello Peter,
Excellent shot, very sharp, with typical pose of the Sympetrum. Nice colors and BG. TFS,

Hi,
Very good details and colors, composition could have been better with some breathing space, the image is too tight. tfs.
