Difficult Angle, Pt. 3 - _TNY_5763S2
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.
This is two exposures focus stacked into one photo using Zerene Stacker.
