Hi Jeroen, a great creature you have captured, in great sharpness. Wow, these hairs on its back and the ribs in its wings. Good one!
Ps. Great that you geotagged it and gave it tags. Did you know you can use the button 'identify specie' to classify it as Libellula depressa or such? You can also modify your title and add a description. Maybe you've already done so on other pics, I am going to have a look at them now;) Posted 13 years ago, modified 13 years ago

Hi Jeroen, is this maybe a four-spotted chaser (Libellula quadrimaculata)? The lydia has a white tail. Saw you had problems to tag an I'd on it. The wiki picture looks quite like yours. Just a suggestion, dude. Posted 13 years ago

Thank you Ferdy, it's a honer you put the picture on the home page.
I really like the site, sadly my English isn't that good.

  No problem Jeroen, your english is fine. For many people here it's not their first language. I hope you keep sharing wonderful wildlife photos :) Posted 13 years ago
