Paragomphus genei
Paragomphus genei, adult male on patrol. One of the most difficult odonata i've fond to get a clear shot while in flight. The location was not so good for this approach, and to get more difficult this specimen while on patrol is extremely fast, changing directions, and straight forward like a bullet. Even when it seems possible to understand its behavior and anticipate the moment something goes wrong and the dragonfly gets the best of it. Nearly 3 months of observation of this specimen, and this was the best i get. Yours to appreciate*
