Aeshna isoceles Aeshna isoceles, mating wheel. Still a mystery to figure why this species is still active and alive in middle autumn. This observation is a very late record for the species. Probably there were two generations this year. First of early May, second from August or even from early September. Next year, will be the year for answers.
