Sympetrum sanguineum is the scientific name for a European dragonfly commonly called Ruddy Darter. Sympetrum is the genus name for the group of dragonflies called darters in Europe, and meadowhawks in North America. The darters are placed in the family Libellulidae; common skimmers or perchers. The word sanguineum comes from the Latin word for blood (sanguinis, sanguis), and refers to the bright red colour of the male. The female is lighter, golden-yellow.

What does 'sympetrum' mean?

It has no meaning, because there's no such word known to exist. But it resembles a Latin adverb. And the Latin word 'sempiternum' means for ever in English. The form as an adjective is 'sempiternus', which means 'continual' or 'everlasting'. Both the adverb and the adjective in Latin derive from the combination of the adverb 'semper', which means 'always'; and the adjective 'aeternus', which means 'eternal' or 'everlasting'.
