This is strange in a way as, at that particular place, 2 years in a row I ahve only seen oen female. No male. The female seem to lay hundred of eggs but there is only one adult I see. This is  a very small waterhole in the forest. Because of her coloring you can only see her when she moves.

I finally have both sexes.  The male is HERE 

The color on this one confused me a lot even if I know both sexes most often had different colors.
I got help from a group on FB to ID her: Trollsländor. This is a Swedish group but there might be english a well. Who knows?  A great place to get ID help. Just wanted to mention it.
