I think this is the Orthetrum cancellatum, female (♀)
In Holland's normale oeverlibelle.
It should by a female, because the mail is more blue.

Nice shot, did you use a tripod and waited ?

hi Kristy,

nice image, very 3D,
one problem with ID, the real ID is Sympetrum vulgatum (a male), and a very good photo to identify the species because you can see that the black transverse bat at the top of the front continues down to the inner margins of the eyes (and this is necessary to ID the species).

TFS,
cosmln

Nice shot with great details and colors,

Andrea

Hi Kristy,

Nice shot, I like the way the light is shining on one of his bug eyes

TFS Hilary

Good capture Kristy, well done.
Cheers, Luís.

This is a great photo. Really like the POV and composition, giving us quite a dynamic pose of the body and wings.
