Summertime, Pt. 6 - _TNY_2915

I had a pretty sweet summer vacation in 2021. While central Europe had catastrophic levels of rain, we up here in Sweden had nothing but sun and warm weather.

 

This obviously led to lot of time spent by the lake. In our case, lake Öjesjön outside Härnösand, Sweden, where I not only could enjoy amazingly warm water, but also take breaks, go up and get the camera and walk around in the water and shoot a couple of species of beetles - and these guys.

 

This is a male large redeye (Erythromma najas), also called the red-eyed damselfly. Only the males have these amazingly red eyes and there were loads of them to chase for me.

 

Parts 4 and 5 are of a different specimen at the same location on the same visit.
