Default Beautiful Demoiselle - Calopteryx virgo

Her are two male Beautiful Demoiselles. both are different. I saw them fighting but they exasperated before I could capture the fight I noticed they had slightly different coloured wings and the bodies were also slightly different in length and shape

May be a male and female
