Hey thanks taka.ita
I was wondering about the blue eyes, but I thought it is a variation of the Broad-bodied Chaser. and I haven`t seen the dark spots next to the pterostigmas.
So thank you very much

This is a rarer species: Libellula fulva. The color of the eyes is typical for this species, and on the second image you can also see the (faint) dark spots at the end of the wings (not the pterostigma, but another spot).
