I am very grateful for your input and I will change what I can now. I am surprised I was right with the female emperor, total luck!! I also wish you had been there, it would have made my life very much easier!! <br />Thanks so much and best wishes to you also.

I can't tell you what the first two are but the markings on the abdomen seem totally wrong. I'm quite confident that the 'orgy' scene is of a different species and is White-legged Damselfly (Platycnemis pennipes) because of the distinctive markings on the side of the thorax. Your 'Common Darter' is, I believe, a Scarlet Darter (Crocothemis erythraea) - I'd give my right arm to see one! Correct with the female Emperor.<br /><br />My very best wishes - - - RichardRichard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090635066385895666.post-73886924368450002042018-07-15T20:20:11.395+02:002018-07-15T20:20:11.395+02:00Your photos of nature all always amazing but your ...Your photos of nature all always amazing but your being able to identify them is even more so.Karen (Back Road Journal)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09827391683226863495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090635066385895666.post-87787907550659041632018-07-15T15:01:24.730+02:002018-07-15T15:01:24.730+02:00Hi Grace, I also loved that shot.
