  1. Wow, great detail Jeroen. I just love macro, all those details you can't ever see with the naked eye in such detail. Can't say I've seen one of those with black specks on their wings.. Where did you take this one?

  3. It looks like a 'gewone pantserjuffer' (Lestes sponsa) but I can't tell for sure. Posted 13 years ago
    1. After seeing pictures of the banded demoiselle I think it is the banded one. Colors and patch on the wings matches perfect. Posted 13 years ago
