Tiny Red Dragon

 
This dragonfly is smaller than many in this little mud puddle, but I love the red racing stripes. He(?) spent a lot of time raising his abdomen above his wings. I wonder if he was flashing his colors to attract another red dragonfly. Posted by Picasa

Sometimes I actually know from coloration or large pedipalps or ovipositor or whatever. Sometimes it's just a feeling. :) I try to put in a question mark if I'm just guessing.

Thanks! I love dragonflies and my new camera has spot focus, so with a mild zoom lens I can actually catch them now.
