Some Odonata from southern Germany

Seems like we don't have an Odonata subforum?

I took these pics on my last 2 travels in Germany. Enjoy! (help with the identification is always welcome.)

From a bog in southern Black Forest.


From the Rhine bank in northern Baden-Württemberg.

The top one resembles this: bugguide.net/node/view/608835/bgimage
Could be something closely related or the same species.

I would say that Libellula quadrimaculata is correct, the species does exist in Europe. Thank you for your help.

Nice. I have now created an Odonata forum. I must have overlooked that.
