Female because of the separate appendages at the base. Difficult animale to approach. Very wary.

Lifer.

Adult. Han. It looks like the appendages are close at the base, why I guess it is a male. Only one seen today.

Imago. Hun. Blanksjön.

Form Praenubila with dark markings distally on the wings.

Difficult to see it well, but it looks like the appendages are parallel, making it a female.
