I managed to snap this on a recent holiday in the Algarve. I think it's a female red veined darter & I'm hoping someone can confirm that. It was certainly a darter in every sense! There were lots of them around but only this one stayed still for more than a split second. To add to the fun it was breezy and the scrub vegetation they were landing on was anything but still. There were a lot of red ones as well, which I believe were the males, but they were even more camera shy. The one shot I got turned out to be a red blur of him exiting stage left..........
