Dragonfly and butterflies in the garden

Today, a dragonfly sat for minutes on the almost gone flowers in the Losdorp garden.

It was a red male of one of the smaller species.

I would say: male common darter. Though this is a species very similar to other, related, species.

Also in the garden: two green-veined white butterflies.
