Sympetrum fonscolombii

Menorca-Balearic Islands-Spain
phylum: Arthropoda > (Unirramia) > Hexapoda > class: Insecta > (Pterygota) > (Paleoptera) > Odonatoptera > order: Odonata > (Epiprocta) > (Anisoptera) > family: Libellulidae

Male S. fonscolombii can be mistaken for Crocothemis erythraea as both are very red dragonflies with yellow bases to the wings, red veins and pale pterostigma. However C. erythraea has no black on the legs, a broader body and no black on the head. Also C. erythraea females do not oviposit in tandem. The jizz of these two species is different and with some experience are easy to tell apart.
