Banded Demoiselle (Calopteryx splendens - female)
(see also my previous image).
While the males have a magnificent blue coloration, the females appear green. However, the surface of the body is reflective and the colors might change depending on the incident light. Here, the setting sun creates beautiful golden reflections on the dragonfly's chitinous shell.
