| Aeshna viridis (female) | |
| English name: | Green Hawker |
| Dutch name: | Groene glazenmaker |
| Photos both taken at the Reeuwijkse Hout,
Reeuwijk (NL), July 1997 |

Note: females of this species are our greenest dragonflies. Eyes, most of the thorax and parts of the abdomen are green. The darker spots are brown.
Both pictures show teneral individuals which just emerged. Their exuviae are also on the picture. But they don't change color when getting mature, so the pictures are representative for the females of this species anyway.
