Sympetrum striolatum
This darter is some 4 to 5 cm in length, and shows globally red appearance, with black lines underneath the abdomen and blackish dots on last two segments of abdomen. It is difficult to be absolutely certain about the species ID, as Sympetrum species are quite lookalike - but it seems that a rather yellow-brownish panels on thorax points more toward Common than Ruddy darter...
