The Metallic Ones

It seems the season for the metallic damselflies, as I call them, has started in earnest.

They are actually called spreadwings (Lestidae), pantserjuffers in Dutch, but I can't tell the individual species apart anyway, so "metallic ones" is close enough:

Their wings show spots of colour in the sun, I don't know what causes this:

This one looks a bit more blue-ish to me:

Thanks for watching!
