Lovely pictures, Nemorino.

A migrant hawker from September.
I normally prefer the front and not the back perspective.
But this time, I think this is cool.
Esp. because you can see the position of the 2nd and 3rd pair of legs in flight.

Thanks Click! As in many times you put your thumb up before I finished posting (and you even succeeded to type a comment! - I hate to type and do it with a Snail Speed - if not worst)!

But the colours... lovely.

I'm always fascinated what colours dragons have in other parts of the world.

What species are they?

 

[Maximilian]

What species are they?

The pink one is a roseate skimmer (orthemis ferruginea)
The orange one I still don't know.

 

[ISv]

What species are they?

I didn't pay attention to the yellow/orange one (didn't take photos from different angles) but most probably it's a female Scarlet skimmer (Crocothemis servilia). See my post on page 104 - better for ID! Right now they are in numbers on that spot.

Yes it is!
