Difficult Angle - _TNY_5746

The small whiteface (Leucorrhinia dubia), also known as the white-faced darter, is easily distinguishable from other darters by the white frons on the front of the head - unless you see it from an angle like this where the face is obscured.

 

Fortunately for me there are more distinguishing characteristics so we can determine this is a female L. dubia which I found on Midsummer's Eve in the Paradiset nature reserve near lake Långsjön.
