Madura
Esta hembra de Crocothemis erythraea la considero madura por ese tono castaño que luce. Mantiene la zona azulada del ojo y la prominente lámina vulvar para que no nos podamos confundir.
Da la casualidad que las tres hembras que he presentado fueron conseguidas el mismo día en el mismo lugar, la primera a lass 12'15, la segunda a las 12'38 y esta a las 12'47. Me resultó curioso ver jóvenes y maduras compartiendo territorio.

I consider this female Crocothemis erythraea mature because of that brown tone it looks like. She maintains the bluish area of the eye and the prominent vulvar plate so that we cannot be confused.
It so happens that the three females that I have presented were obtained on the same day in the same place, the first at 12:15, the second at 12:38 and this one at 12:47. I found it curious to see young men and women sharing territory.
