Immature dragonfly id (1 Viewer)

[kitefarrago]

While I'm waiting for my newly ordered guide to dragonflies to arrive, maybe somebody can help me out with this?

I've done some web-based research and I think this is an immature, and probably a common darter, but I'd really appreciate comments from those who know more about this!

Taken last weekend in Cheshire.

Thanks,

Andrea

You're right - an immature female Common Darter

Thanks for the confirmation. Photography is a rather nice way of getting into dragonflies - much easier to get the hang of id from pictures for the start, and then take that into the field.
