the sexual dimorphism of dragonflies is always interesting! the male Scarlet Percher above is feiry red all over, while his female counterpart below is a subdued brown, with a subtle scarlet gradient on her abdomen.

there's lots of dragonflies around lately, and i've even found some of their larvae molts in the pond!

Wandering Percher, 2 female individuals, 1 male (Diplacodes bipunctata).
