Identification of dragonflies (Odonata)

Nope, hardly the same. It is a male, and quite possibly Aeshna grandis. Or someone else. Without a head, I can't tell from the photos. In my hands, I could.
Karelia should have Ae. grandis, Ae. cyanea, Ae. subarctica, Ae. juncea, Ae. caerulea. Ae. crenata, Ae. mixta, and Ae. affinis are less likely. And even Ae. serrata (osiliensis) and Brachytron pratense: see the list of Finnish dragonflies - http://korento.net/species.html.
Is this what's in the picture? It looks like a bug of some sort.

Thank you for the information, I have already edited it, there is no picture of the larvae yet, the beetle accidentally hit.

Yeah, it's clearer with the new photos. Ae. grandis, male. All the others have legs with black or entirely black. Other color and morphological features are also his.

I don't know what to recommend about larvae. You can have real dragonflies, grandfathers, and grandmothers. Rocker arms on plants normally live, they are not buried in the ground.
If they eat well and grow well, try to bring them to metamorphosis. They just need to be able to get out of the water when the time comes. Put a branch or something. But different species have different development durations, and may take more than one year.

Thank you, with the branch I have already seen from my own experience, not long ago there were three larvae
There is an opportunity to feed, I catch them larvae of clods, they are in a small plastic jar, as a sawdust ground ( where I caught them, the ground is the same, I took it from there). They are almost always all covered with sawdust, only the head sticks out, the mouth apparatus is in the shape of a beak, I'll post a photo soon then. The underside of their body is light. They also often pretend to be dead, once so realistically that I almost threw it away . I'm afraid that the dragonflies will come out in winter, is it possible to slow down this process somehow? I also read that they live only in clean water.
Another interesting thing is that when the larva was dismembered, some thin white thread remained on the old skin, what could it be? One larva is slightly larger than the other, but they are very similar. Can't the big one eat the little one?

Upload photos. I can't tell from the description who it is. It looks like dziadki, but sawdust and a plastic jar do not fit with them.
You can slow down the development by lowering the temperature - but there is a danger of freezing them completely. I do not know what to advise, I myself practically did not grow larvae, and a couple of times, which was, I did not care when they would come out.
White "threads" on exuvia are a normal thing. Ligaments of some kind, remain after the skin is torn.
If the larvae do not differ much in size, they will most likely not eat each other, they are not as predatory as swimmers, and they do not have venom. But with a lack of food, anything can happen.

The photo of the larvae is ready, I also thought that dedki, according to the description in the book, was suitable. The food is still fine, they eat as much as they can, but with the onset of winter they will have to reduce it, they only eat live insect larvae and what fell into the water? They ate the larvae of the swimmers and the tadpole, so I was afraid that they would attack each other, but they mostly sit at the bottom, burrowing into the ground and do not swim

That's how "ugly" they are. I cleaned them a little from the sawdust, otherwise they wouldn't have been recognizable.
The bank where they live.



The twig, I hope, is installed correctly.

And the place where I caught them is part of the lake, slightly swampy, where the bottom is all made of sawdust.



Dragonfly larvae develop there, I often found them there, there are a lot of dragonflies flying there, almost all my photos of dragonflies were taken there. True, the water there often goes away, the larvae are probably buried in the ground and buried to survive the drought. And in winter, I think everything freezes there with them.

No, these are not grandfathers. Grandfathers are river dwellers, they do not live in such reservoirs.
These are real dragonflies, Libellula or Orthetrum. You need to look more closely to tell for sure, and I'm currently straining over time.
The branch is normal. Good luck to you. Let them withdraw.

  

Sympetrum pedemontanum female.

Hello. Please tell me about the dragonfly. Taken in the Moscow region today. I think it's a male Sympetrum danae, but with dragonflies I'm never sure. Please clarify.

Yes, that's right.

Hooray, I did it!
Elena, thank you.

Please tell me about this dragonfly

Thank you in advance!!!!

Please tell me about this dragonfly...

Sympetrum flaveolum, yellow dragonfly. Male.

Thank you Elena M; -)

Hello!

In the subject line Australia, Northern Territories. I showed you pictures of a cave dragonfly yesterday. There was a suggestion

judging by the huge eyes and general appearance, it looks like some kind of Gynacantha. I strongly suspect that Gynacantha nurlangie is the English name "cave duskhawker" ... They write that it lives in cave reservoirs!

Is this really cave duskhawker? I'd like to know.



Bardedjilidji Sandstone, Kakadu National Park, NT, Australia. September.

There are many pictures of this dragonfly here.

Help me determine the type, Chernivtsi Ukraine.This year, we have replaced the aeschna cyanea that we used to have in the past.Under her portrait from below vit from the top and from the side, it doesn't seem to be anything complicated, but I don't dare say it myself. http://www.flickr.com/photos/serkiz_oleg/5016919389/

Aeshna mixta male.

Good afternoon!
Please help me identify dragonflies from photos.


2004, Moscow region


2007, Moscow region


2010, Finland


2007, Turkey


2004, oz.Seliger

Also, please take a look at these five photos.
It seems to me that all of them show the yellow Dragonfly Sympetrum flaveolum.
Or am I wrong?

The first three images were taken in the Moscow region, the fourth in Turkey, and the fifth in Israel.

Thank you so much in advance!

Please help me determine, today Chernivtsi, Ukraine, what kind of female?

This is Aeshna mixta.

Can you tell by your eyes?
Moscow region, Ramenskiy district, Khripan

Aeshna cyanea Mueller, 1764 (in my opinion).

Can you tell by your eyes?
Moscow region, Ramenskiy district, Khripan

IMHO Aeshna cyanea.

Not by the eyes, but by the chest and forehead - Aeshna cyanea. I won't tell you the gender.

Oh, how friendly. ))

Good afternoon!
Please help me identify dragonflies from photos.

1: Sympetrum danae female-thanks to Elena M for the correction.
2: Aeshna cyanea female
3: Sympetrum pedemontanum female
4: Selysiothemis nigra
5: Somatochlora ?metallica female

1: Sympetrum ?vulgatum female
2: Sympetrum danae female
3: Sympetrum flaveolum female
4, 5: I don't know immediately, but definitely not flaveolum. Some kind of Trithemis?

4, 5: I don't know immediately, but definitely not flaveolum. Some kind of Trithemis?

I leafed through the books... It looks like Trithemis annulata. 4-female, 5-male.

1: Sympetrum ?vulgatum female

This is the Sympetrum danae.

Oops ... yes. It seemed to me that the legs had light stripes, but I didn't look at the rest carefully. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the edge of the wing merges in the picture with the leg.

And here, why are you sure?

Uh... If S. arctica lives in the Moscow region , I take my confidence back. Or did I miss someone else?

So she's from Seliger, isn't she?
In general, yes, more than 90% that metallica. But what the hell is not joking...

I looked at it again inattentively.

Just in case he was joking, he put a question mark.

Yeah. From the first picture of the second series, the question can be removed-just like a vulgate.

And why? Of course, the appearance of a striolatum in the Moscow region is unlikely (i.e., with the overwhelming probability it is a vulgatum), but how can they be distinguished from this angle?

There is too much black on the back of the head, the striolatum has more brown, I think. And the caudal segments of the abdomen from above - on the contrary, are too light (although this varies). Well, the probability, yes.
