This one's for @poetavaquero! This female Calopteryx splendens was hard to spot due to the tansy growing near the bridge of the bike path and the area throwing a lot of shade at this time of the day (no pun intended). This particular spot is inhabited by both C. splendens and C. virgo, though the latter‘s population has remained significantly smaller even during this season where I managed to observe the first spreading southwards into my village, a tiny spot near the church now marking its southernmost occurrence relative to my designated zones.
