Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum)

I often find the late darters anxious and very wary, but today, in the sun and out of the wind, they were completely confident, also landing on my head and my back, taking advantage of my heat radiation, I guess, and a more sun-exposed position out of the tall grasses. With a delightful pooh-package gratifyingly dropped at the root of my little finger!
