It's a Ceriagrion tenellum, a female. I never saw this pretty species... |

It is indeed. For a moment I thought it was Pyrrhosoma nymphula but the lighter colour of the leggs give it away... The reddish pterostigma isn't very clear in this picture but it's Ceriagrion tenellum for sure. Beautiful creature! Best regards, Iolaire |
