Colour challenge: Monday Red

Face to face with an Red-veined Darter (Sympetrum fonscolombii), a european dragonfly with a bright red face, red eyes and red veins on the wings. This was a male. The females of this species are quite different, though...

WOW. This is such a 'stop you in your tracks' image. If you didn't already have a perception of 'dragonfly' you could be forgiven for wondering what sort of creature it was. LOVE the heart shaped head. The focus dof and color subtlety is so beautiful. 💗🙏💗

That is an awesome, super shot!

Thanks @longwan

Nice shot!
These also fly to The Netherlands every summer, but they are not native here.

In southern Europe, especially in the mediterranean southwest (e.g. Iberian Peninsula) , they are quite common.

Amazing picture!

Thanks @bart2305
