Since this is not in the critique section I don't know how I should approach this! :)

I am wondering why there are two images posted that are almost exactly the same.

Looks like Orthetrum caledonicum The Male Blue Skimmer Dragonfly aka the Sky Blue Dragonfly :D

They are very common around this area Kevin.
Mind you I have only seen one in this garden in the ten years we have lived here.
They certainly are bright and they do stand out ...
