Wings Made from Diamonds, Pt. 2 - _TNY_0692 (In Explore 19/4 2020)

This sleeping beauty with her wings covered in dew drops is a vagrant darter (Sympetrum vulgatum), also known as the moustached darter.

 

I found her sleeping on a reed when I made a stop one early morning at the Hemmesta sjöäng wetland on my way from work to my mother's summer house.
