The Southern Skimmer is found in Central and Southern Europe and Asia. Those on this page were photographed in Central Asia.
Above is the pale blue male and a pair coupled together. A little similar to the Keeled Skimmer of the UK and also Central/Southern Europe,
it has a flattened body with central raised "keel", but has a blue thorax rather than brown.
Above is the golden female and a pair coupled together.
A teneral male (not called juvenile since that is the nymph form).
