Sympetrum fonscolombii
39.025, -8.79293
Field Notes
Description:
About 5 cm "Males have a red abdomen, redder than many other Sympetrum species. The wings have red veins and the wing bases of the hind-wings are yellow. The female is similar but the abdomen is yellow, not red, and the wings have yellow veins, not red veins as found in the males. The legs of both sexes are mostly black with some yellow. Immature males are like females but often with more red."
Habitat:
Farm in Salvaterra, field with crops
Notes:
the reason my hand appears is because the camera was having a hard time focusing on the dragonfly
