Pomegranate Vision - _TNY_1906
Only the adult male red-eyed damselfly (Erythromma najas), also known as the large redeye, have the red eyes that give the species its name - but he compensates by having extremely red eyes.
I found this one - and a bunch of his buddies as well as some females in the reeds next to the small beach at the southern end of lake Vedasjön where I went for a swim with the family in the summer of 2021.
