The photo shows orange/yellow cosmos flowers and a butterfly called Argyreus hyperbius / Indian fritillary.\nNative to Mexico, cosmos sulphureus which is commonly called yellow cosmos is now grown all over including North America, Asia and Europe. This annual plant produces daisy-like flowers with flower colors ranging from yellow to orange to scarlet red. Orange cosmos normally blooms in summer and early autumn in Japan with butterflies circling around the flowers.

Field characters: Tot 56-64mm, Ab 43-54mm, Hw 37-42mm. Distinctly smaller than most Aeshna species.\n\nThe commonest small hawker. Numerous in much of our area, and although it can be on the wing during most months in the Mediterranean, further north it is especially associated with late summer and autumn, when it may appear in massive migrations. It is usually identified by its size, relative dull colours and the diagnostic yellow \

Tot 30-39mm, Ab 25-32mm, HW 19-23mm.\nOur most delicate Lestes, which is normally easily separated by its statue and coloration, although some Iberian populations recall L. barbarous.\nHabitat: A wide variety of seasonally dry shallow and reedy waters in the south, becoming more critical in the north-west, where it is most abundant in heath and bog lakes with peat moss (Sphagnum) and rushes (Juncus).\nFlight Season: Northern populations mostly emerge in July, flying into November.\nDistribution: Widespread in Europe, although seldom the dominant Lestes species. Distribution recall L. barbarous, and also tends to wander like that species, though rarely in similarly great numbers.\n\nThis Species is to be seen in the describe Habitats, but not as common as L. sponsa in the Netherlands.

Identification:\nTot 57-66mm, Ab 39-49mm, Hw 37-42mm.\nIn flight often confused with the related and similar small A. mixta. Ranges less far north, but also migratory and may be invasive in good summers.\nMales are often observed when making low patrols over drying wetlands, showing their noticeable bright colors. The males vivid blue eyes and abdomen and largely green thorax sides are especially distinctive.\nHabitat: Prefers standing waters that dry up over the course of Summer, often overgrown with low rushes, bulrushes or reeds.\nFlight Season: On average, emerges earlier than A. mixta. Seen mainly from May to August, especially in the later months.\nDistribution: Seldom abundant, and only permanently present around the Mediterranean, but scarce in much of Iberia and North Africa. Hot summer weather may lead to influxes further north. Occurs east to Mongolia.\n\nThis Picture is made in a Fen area in Flevoland in half August 2022 by high Summer temperatures.
