Bearded Lady - _TNY_1579
I suppose this teneral female common bluet (Enallagma cyathigerum) could use a good shave, right?
When I say "teneral", I mean this one has only very recently crawled up and out of the water and haven't yet gotten her final colours. While males have the intensely blue colour which of course the reason behind the name "bluet", the females instead become greyish white.
