Dragonfly photo in awe of your site
I’ve been browsing your site quite a lot lately and as there’s never too much good Dragonfly pictures I thought I would like to give my pic out for you if you like it. Of course I would be interested if you’d have more accurate description of the species or just a point out to something very similiar species on your website.
details:
Location: Europe/Finland/Southern-Finland.
Time: Summer Weather: Sunny, around + 20-25C
Place: countryside, big bush with lots of different coloured dragonflies circling around.

Hi Lauri,
Identifying different species of Dragonflies is not our strong point, but we believe this is one of the Skimmers.

Good morning,
If I may, it is definitly a memeber of the Sympetrum genus (Meadowhawk in english), most certainly a form of Sympetrum striolatum..
I hope this helps,
