Orthetrum trinacria Orthetrum trinacria, immature male. How fortune I was to spot this one, even for a brief short, and to be able to see and learn from its feeding behavior on a dried water line, in a 30ºc morning, until its disappearance... When compared to other portuguese Libellulidae the only thing I can say is something like uniqueness.
