Equilibrium

Sympétrum rouge sang / Sympétrum sanguin.

Ruddy darter.

Sympetrum sanguineum.

 

Etang du Louroux (37), France.

Juillet 2018.

 

One of the most common species in the metropolitan area, it is abundant everywhere except for a few southern departments.

Males are bright red, females rather yellow with blueish underparts.

One of the criteria used for distinction among the Sympetrum genus is its entirely black legs.
