Darters



This gallery is specifically for Darters most of them the Common Darter - Symperatum striolatum, they have many different stages of colours as well as the contrast between male and females!
I hope to show what amazing little guys they are.

I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to have them living in my garden, they are amazing insects just as beautiful as their Dragonfly counterparts, I hope after seeing these images you think so too.
