Owly sulphur (Libelloides coccajus) From a hike in the Stura Valley region of Piemont, Italy.<br />
Next to a small side road leading to an Alp, at an elevation of ca 1370m, we encountered a wonderfully rich and bio-diverse meadow. Apart from countless grasshoppers, butterflies and beetles, also several of these beautiful owlflies were zooming around. And luckily, sometimes they also sat down and posed for a photo shot :-) Geotagged,Insekt,Italien,Italy,Libelloides coccajus,Netzflügler,Owly sulphur,Summer Click/tap to enlarge PromotedCountry intro
