Are all Adders venomous?

They are indeed.

What a ballsy move, getting that close to it

[Stefan-A]

Yes, ballsy.

A small, moderately venomous snake, trying desperately to flee. Crossing that road was probably more dangerous than chasing the snake.

So are those all native Finnish animals you pictured?

I'm not sure about the dragonfly, but the other ones are. I can narrow the species of dragonfly down to about 3 or 4 possible candidates and one of them is a non-native species that's currently expanding its range north from southern and central Europe with the changing climate.

I gotta agree.
