Red Eyes, Eventually - _TNY_5370
For being a large redeye (Erythromma najas), this male doesn't really live up to his name, does he?
Nothing's wrong though. It's a teneral specimen, meaning he's fresh out of the larval stage and haven't gotten the time to transform into his full colouration just yet.
In a little while, he will be intensely blue - and with eyes that are even more intensely red. Like on this one: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51284482269/
