During our birding trip to Northern Greece I recorded eleven species of Odonata but only managed to get images of the following varieties.
Scarlet [Broad] Darter (Crocothemis erythraea). Above is the brightly coloured male and below is the female.
Common [Club-tailed] Clubtail (Gomphus vulgatissimus). This individual was soaking up the sunshine at the roadside.
White-legged Damselfly (Platycnemis pennipes).
Male (above) and female (below) of Beautiful Demoiselle (Calopteryx virgo). Both seen during a woodland walk close to a river.
Blue [Scarce] Chaser (Libellula fulva)..Above and below are shots of the male.
Above and below are images of the teneral or immature male Blue [Scarce] Chaser with its very distinctive wing markings.
