Wings Made From Diamonds, Pt. 3 - _TNY_0693

This sleeping beauty with her wings covered in dew drops is a female 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.
