Fellow Steemians,
Happy Sunday to everyone and is our day going?
I could remember few days ago when i shared with you guys the images of a Dragonfly spotted on a sunflower.

So therefore, here I am today posting the same images, but this time around with their attributes......

The picture of Ruddy darter dragonfly I'm showing to you guys is a MALE.
But then, how do we identify male and female Ruddy darter dragonfly?
What differentiated them (male and female) from each other is their body colour.
