Identifiering av trollsländor är svårt. Jag gör mitt bästa men det är inte säkert jag har rätt.
To ID dragonflies is hard. I do my best but I might get it wrong. So, don´t take my word for it.

First time I have seen both sexes of this darter. It is a small darter with black legs.
Quite fun actually as I think the female looks like a dragon.

This happened on Aug 13 which is rather late for this species. I was able to catch the female as she is laying eggs. If you look carefully you can see the eggs coming out in the end of her body. What amazed me also was the male. He was watching her the entire time I was watching them. If another male came to  the spot that male was chased away. In the last three images you can see both of them.  
This was the last day I saw them.

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.

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.
