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.

Flicksländor och jungfrusländor (Zygoptera)

Damselflies (suborder Zygoptera)

Spring started early this year but the dragonflies woke up late. Maybe becauce of cold nights and then some rainy days.  But now they are finally here. The images of the damselfly is the same one but I don´t dare to be more specific about the species.

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.
