Hide text Imago: In Denmark male unique. Separated from whitefaces by black frons. Immatures and females have a brown triangle on top of thorax, where Ruddy shows a T-shape. And they show three yellow dots on side of black part of the thorax. The vulvar scale on females is as prominent as on Moustached Darter. Wing marks are white on immatures and black on mature individuals. |

2021-07-21 Store Hareskov, Sjælland, Denmark Imago. Female. The dark wing marks indicate it is a mature female, and as you can see here, the vulvar scale is not very prominent. Partly because of the viewing angle, but also because it is moveable, and can be retracted into the lower part of the abdomen (mentioning this because my guide books don't seem to explain this). |
