"Female (""androchrome"") red damselfly. In the first photo there appears to be a couple of mites hanging on underneath. The last three photos are of the last abdomen segments from different angles (two different cameras used give slightly different image quality) Scale"

Eating a small moth. Interestingly what appear to be the claspers, for holding onto the female, appear to be the bottom set of appendages to the rear of the abdomen, whereas on the blues it is the upper set. Mind you I haven't got a photo of them fully extended on a red damselfly, so I might be wrong.

This may have been the individual in /observations/2617517. It was chased by another red male, and landed on this stalk, the other male landed a little way behind it on the same stalk. This one then spread its wings apart, which is not their usual resting posture. The other one flew off shortly after. It gradually brought its wings back to the normal resting position.
