Early morning. Trying to find Yellow-winged Darters (Sympetrum flaveolum) in an area where I photographed them for the last time, as a young boy, in 2011.

 

But I ran into a problem. I ran out of 'Off', a Finnish version of mosquito repellent. Medvastö in Kirkkonummi is a wet area, and due to serious amounts of rain, it was a very very wet area this year. Hundreds of mosquitos, perhaps thousands, who love this wet environment were coming for me... and I couldn't handle'm, as I didn't have my magic spray. Yes, I did find the Yellow-winged Darters, but so did the mosquitos find me.

 

Well, got a couple of nice shots, softens the itching. Happy Days.
