There are a few of this Damselfly in this little pond. This pair is about to mate and lay their eggs so hopefully there will be more of them next year. The last two images shows the process of laying eggs.

Fyrfläckad trollslända - Libellula quadrimaculata - Four-Spotted Chaser

Newly emerged from a case found nearby. The wings looks like silver in the light.

 Seems to be called "case" not pup. This seems to be intact so the dragonfly might still be inside.

Probably drying the wings as it has some weird positions.
