• The Scarlet Darter (or Scarlet Dragonfly) is a strikingly coloured European dragonfly which has recently been recorded as an occasional visitor to the UK. If the British climate continues to warm up this species is a candidate for possible future colonisation. These photographs were taken in the Dordogne, France. The dragonflies are generally very active in warm weather and quite difficult to approach. The females are much more subdued in both colour and behaviour than their male counterparts and therefore much harder to find.
