Identification of dragonflies (Odonata)

To Kharkovbut: in most cases, it is impossible to determine exuvia from the photo before the view. The first picture shows one of the arrows (although I can't rule out Lyutka with complete certainty). Then-no way, you need to see clearly the gills on the lumen.
In the second image, Calopteryx sp. Again, you need to see the gills. And a straightened mask, preferably. In general, it is better to take exuvia and determine it in your hands-fortunately, this will not harm anyone.

Thank you, please note.

Calopteryx is 99% splendens, because virgo is not marked there as an imago.

Maybe you can recommend some kind of determinant for larvae/exuvia?

The female in the third picture is probably C. pulchellum.

That's what I expected, but I couldn't be sure, because it was atypical.

To Alexey Sazhnev: And write where it was shot? This is probably Aeshnidae, and then only with geography. And it would be nice to specify the dimensions.

Saratov, 30 mm

What kind of Aeshna did I shoot on my balcony?

Anax is almost certain, but which of the two - imperator or parthenope-I will not say. The nymph is not an adult, and in any case, you need to look in your hands.

To Kharkovbut: Heidemann's book was published relatively recently for European reasons & Seidenbusch, there seem to be quite good qualifiers for Ukrainian. Well, the ancient A. N. Popov "Dragonfly Larvae" from the series "Fauna of the USSR" also did not lose its significance.

The balcony is in Nizhny Novgorod?

A young female-possibly A. mixta, possibly A. affinis, A. juncea-and I can't rule that out. Sideways view would be.

Good afternoon!
Not that I do not confuse: the rocker arm is blue - aeschna cyanea, the male is blue ?

Good evening, dragonfly lovers!

I have a question about orthetrums. They say there are only 8 species of them in the world. What 4-re in Europe-it is clear, but what are the others? I can't find the list of species.

We have in the Moscow region, Odintsovo district now flies a lot of such dragonflies. I think they look like Orthetrum cancellatum. But in all the pictures of this species, the females are yellow in a black grid, and we only fly like this-gray in a blue grid. Is it a subspecies, a color form, or is it not Orthetrum cancellatum at all?
Thank you.

Orthetrums of 59 species according to the latest catalogues (http://www.pugetsound.edu/media/SlaterMuseum/WorldOdonataList.pdf). You have quite a cancellatum in your pictures, only the female is old. Well-deserved.

59! I'm thrilled.
That's why this female has such sad eyes;=) Elena_M, Thank you!

Help me determine the type of dragonfly, otherwise I'm not an expert at all, just curious. Probably something ordinary, shot in the Leningrad region.

Guest, your dragonfly Aeshna grandis. male.

19.08.2009 15:41, Vabrus

Tell me, whose larva, at least approximately? Sverdlovsk region. Not Calopteryx by accident?

Yes, Calopteryx-only they have such antennas. I will not say the type, although in the Urals in general, C. splendens is much more common than C. virgo.

Elena M,
thank you. They both flew there, so you can only guess

22.08.2009 9:34, Елена М

Well, according to the relative length of the first segment of the antennas and all the others taken together, this is rather a splendence-the ratio should be 1.3-1.5 to 1. In virgo - 1,1 to 1. Other signs can not be seen: whether there are bumps behind the eyes, what the mask and gills look like.

This is sympetrum, Sympetrum vulgatum, or S. striolatum, most likely the former. If there is a picture where the head is clearly visible, look at the black stripe at the top of the forehead in front of the eyes. If the band is noticeable (it seems to be guessed in the first picture, but there are doubts), then S. vulgatum. If practically none, then S. striolatum. Male, yes.

Elena, thank you very much. There is a black bar. It looks like Sympetrum vulgatum

No. No side view? Most likely, Aeshna juncea, but I can't rule out A. mixta based on this image.
