Common Darter.
A female Common Darter, I think. They differ from the Ruddy Darter in having a pale stripe down the legs. It was fairly easy to get close to these smaller species but not the Emperors or Brown Hawkers. We also saw Demoiselles, slow flying and large Damselflies. I love the wings of Dragonflies, their clarity and patterning amaze me.
