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)

Dragonfly With Nymph Skin
This isn't the dragonfly that just crawled out of the pond - the dragonflies liked this perch and regularly pushed each other off of it. I'm not even sure that is the skin of a dasher - there are other species of dragonflies in this pond. Species: Pachydiplax longipennis (Blue Dasher)

Eight Spotted Skimmer Focus Stacked
