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

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.

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.

De här såg jag i slutet på juni men glömde bort dom då jag åkte till Skottland. Men här är de nu.
I saw these in the end of June but forgot about them as I went to Scotland. But here they are now.
