[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Southern Darter
(Sympetrum meridionale)
The Southern Darter occurs mainly in France, Italy, the Balkans and Greece. It's a medium-sized dragonfly. Sympetrum meridionale is really quite a nondescript species and as such is most easily identified by excluding the other, more characteristic Darter species. Its thorax and abdomen (orangey red in the male; yellow in the female) are pale and largely unmarked. On the other hand, this species maybe more than any other Darter, is very prone to being infested by parasitic mites which may help in their identification.

Hi Razvan,

Great macro capture of the red colored dragonfly! The details are very well shown with wonderful control on sharpness and taken from a nice POV. The colors are perfectly shown too. The blurry BG is giving great contrast to the bright colored dragonfly.

kind regards,
Paras
