While there still is some time until the odonata season kicks off in my area, this male C. mercuriale still fascinates me due to his throax pattern. It's known that members of this genus can resemble each other but I haven't seen anyone document C. mercuriale with an abdomen similar to that of C. hastulatum.

(Also apologies, Vernissage doesn't support status edits so I had to delete my last post due to poor alt text.)
