I found this dark Hybomitra on three days on a row near a bog in Drente, Holland. The first day I saw 3 males and a female, all sitting very close to the water. In view of their proximity to the water, and their mint fresh condition, I assume they had just emerged.

Given the very dark color and the habitat i hope it can be identified!

Sorry again, no collected specimens.

However, I made many more photo's, also of the female. What would you particularly like to see on photo? I'll check and select the most informative, rather than swamp you with nice but irrelevant ones...
