Dragonflies and Damselflies

I photographed the resting dragonflies using the R5 and the EF 180mm Macro lens, using focus stacking with 20 images.
The Migrante Hawker was photographed using an 80D and the EF 300 F4 plus a 1.4x teleconverter.
Image 1: a female and male Scarlet Darters.
Image 2: a Black-tailed Skimmer.

On Hawaii we have the very similar Common Green Darner (Anax junius). They are ovipositing only in tandems. First two are from to long distance for good photos (last Saturday). The rest are older photos from better distance, and much better mood to shoot Dragons

Beautiful @Noreaster.
Can you tell me the lilac/dark blue species? The one with the closeup of the compound.

Great photo’s!
This is the obelisk posture, to minimize the area exposed to the sun and prevent overheating.
