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.

This one looks rather warn out so maybe that is why I could catch it on the tree. Probably at the end of it´s season. A new species for me. :)

Tycker det ser lite lustigt ut att honan är större. Men hittar inga uppgifter på det.

Seems a bit strange that the female is so much larger. Can´t find any info about that.

Som  vanligt är jag inte helt säker på arten. Tycker det ser lite lustigt ut att honan är större. Men hittar inga uppgifter på det.

As usual I´m not quite sure about the species. Seems a bit strange that the female is so much larger. Can´t find any info about that.

Black tailed skimmer

There was several males but I only saw one female. She was there for a brief moment so I was lucky to capture her. For the males I was lucky to capture one still airborne. With a shadow beneath it.

A video from youtube showing a mating sequence. That looks soooo uncomfortable.

Fyrfläckad trollslända - Libellula quadrimaculata - Four-Spotted Chaser

click to enlarge
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.

Finally awaken. It was about 2 weeks late according to my book. This one is rather easy to photograph as it often sits like this. And they also returns to a favourite spot. :)

Äntligen framme. Den var ca 2 veckor sen enl min bok. Den här är ganska lätt att fota då den ofta sitter på ett ställe som på bilden. Och ofta återvänder till en favoritplats.

Usually I see this Damselfly before this date. And I only saw one. There used to be many. Maybe the hasch winter took it´s toll.

Today I spotted the first dragonfly of the year. Not the one I expected to be the first, but so welcome. I was afraid they all died in those freezing cold weeks at the end of this long winter. At least some stayed alive.
