Crimson Marsh Glider, Female
BC Dragonflies don't have a lot of sexual dimorphism that I have seen - sometimes one is 10% larger and the tail tip area is sometimes different, but otherwise similar. Crimson Marsh Gliders are quite different colours - Crimson (red) for the males, this brownish orange for the females. Species: Trithemis aurora (crimson marsh glider, Crimson Dropwing)

Russet Percher
This was probably the easiest species to photograph - long perching times and quite striking colours compared to the background. Species: Neurothemis fulvia (Fulvous Forest Skimmer, Russet Percher)

Russet Percher
Another species we saw at both the nature reserve and the the butterfly park. Most of the dragonflies you see in BC have entirely transparent wings, some with spots on them. This species is the opposite - opaque wings with transparent spots. This photo is a composite of two images for depth of field. Species: Neurothemis fulvia (Fulvous Forest Skimmer, Russet Percher)
