Small Spreadwing (Lestes virens ) Lille Kobbervandnymfe (dk) Lestes Menor (es) Mindre Smaragdflickslända (se) 2023-09-11 Bastemosen (Bornholm), Denmark
Imago. ♂ and ♀. The only thing that seems off compared to what the literature says, is that the ovipositor is rather dark where it normal is pale. Knowing that sponsa [Almindelig Kobbervandnymfe] is present as well at this bog it would be tempting to then conclude that it probably is a such. But except for this all the features for virens are present, and I prefer to conclude that some virens do not show a pale ovipositor, why that character can only be used as supporting evidence. |
