Lady Emerald, Pt. 2 - _TNY_9974

Pretty sure this metallic beauty from Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park (just south of Stockholm, Sweden) is a female common spreadwing (Lestes sponsa). There is however a possibility that it instead is a Robust spreadwing (Lestes dryas) - from this angle they are very similar.

 

Regardless of species, it is a very attractive animal, wouldn't you say?
