A #damselfly from last weekend - Willow Emerald is a late-summer species so early October isn't unusual. This female was at the London Wetland Centre on a sunny day. #UKWildlife #invertebrates #odonata

A long, thin green insect sits on a dead leaf, sun-bathing. She is sat more or less vertical with her head at the top.

Macro of a male dragonfly from a top-down dorsal perspective in symmetry. Rested flat with wings spread wide open horizontally, the insect showcases translucent, deeply saturated amber-red wings, illuminated by a bright backlight accentuating a complex network of dark venation. Its slender, segmented abdomen displays alternating bands of dark brown and warm orange-red running straight down the center. Its large, round compound eyes at the top of its head glow with a warm reddish-orange hue. The subject focused against a smooth, dark green bokeh background.

Darter Delight #ShareMondays2026

A vibrantly coloured, immature #red-veined #darter #dragonfly seen in the #ruins of the #AncientAgora of #KosTown last week 🇬🇷💙 #nature #wildlife @britishdragonflies.bsky.social @greenwingstours.bsky.social @dailykos.com #Greece #KosIsland #FujifilmUK #odonata

During a trip to the Greek island of Kos last week, I went looking for some of my favourite butterflies and dragonflies in the grounds of the Ancient Agora, in the heart of Kos Town. I was delighted to find this immature male red-veined darter. As it matures, its vivid red colouration gradually replaces the yellows with which it first emerges — colouring that is retained by the female — creating a subject even more striking than it will eventually become. It’s practically a rainbow with wings! Red-veined darters have traditionally been a species of southern Europe, but as the climate warms they are being recorded more frequently in Central Europe. In the UK, they remain mainly summer migrants in the far south, but I suspect they will eventually establish stable breeding populations as our climate continues to change. For me, though, I’ll always associate them with the Greek Islands in early autumn. Here’s a description of the image for those with visual impairments: An immature red-veined darter dragonfly (Sympetrum fonscolombii) is perched on a slender green stem, shown in crisp horizontal profile and facing left. The plant stem acts as a leading line, extending from the bottom-left corner and angling upwards to cradle the insect. Its large compound eyes are strikingly two-toned: brownish-red above and bright powder-blue below. The thorax is pale golden-green and ochre, rather than the deep red of a mature male, while the abdomen is predominantly golden-yellow and light orange, with red just beginning to develop along its upper ridge. Four clear, intricately veined wings extend from the body, with golden-yellow bases and pale, black-edged pterostigmata. Its dark legs grip the stem firmly. The background is completely blurred, a soft, minimalist wash of muted olive green and earthy beige.

The Seaside Dragonlet (Erythrodiplax berenice) is the only dragonfly that inhabits only salty environments, like coastal marshes. I found this pair in the marshes of Plum Island.

The male and female Dark-tipped Forest-Skimmer (Cratilla metallica) spotted at Thomson Nature Park, Singapore on 4 Oct 2026. Always a delight to spot these lovely forest dependent dragonflies.

I too observed two Willow Emerald damselflies here in rural #Yorkshire #HumberheadLevels garden today, 1st October. Too active to get any photographs😔 Seems to have been a good season for them here. #Odonata

@sydcannings1.bsky.socialOct 1, 2026, 4:15 AM

A few days ago I came across a late flying damselfly, a male Boreal Bluet. On a warm summer's day, he would be bright sky blue, but on a cool Yukon autumn day (9C) it was a dark grey-violet! This is a common response to cold in both bluets and the much larger blue darner dragonflies. #Odonata

Much better shot of a Willow Emerald damselfly....such delicate things....

It's felt like a difficult year for #dragonflies with so many long droughts across Europe. Maybe I've just focused too much on #butterflies. So here to make up is a nicely backlit pair of blue damselflies doing their bit to spread the species.
