Migrant Spreadwing (Lestes barbarus ) Sydlig Kobbervandnymfe (dk) Lestes Bárbaro (es) Vandrande Smaragdflickslända (se) 2023-08-06 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark
Imago. ♂. Granathøj. Todays surprise, only being out looking for my lost bike lock, which I found in the exact same spot where this beauty was perched. In the sedges along the narrow channel. But in the strong NE wind unfortunately I lost it quickly after having taken these photos. It was sitting close to a female sponsa [Almindelig Kobbervandnymfe] and the size difference was striking, barbarus being much larger (seemed much larger even than the viridis [Grøn Kobbervandnymfe] that I've just seen in Jutland).
