Broad Bodied Chaser (Libellula depressa)

This female Broad-bodied Chaser is in beautiful condition and to be able to watch (in the video below) nearly every vein pumping and every muscle twitching is a real pleasure.

This species is always a very welcome sight because it's one of the first dragonflies to be seen as the season commences.
