  1. Wow! You sure got that one up close! Posted 14 years ago
  2. Great close up with amazing details! Posted 14 years ago
  3. Great shot! Only minor thing I can remark is that the edges are cropped a little too tight. I would have loved to see the whole insect. Posted 14 years ago

"Libellula depressa", the broad-bodied chaser or broad-bodied darter, is one of the most common dragonflies in Europe and central Asia. It is very distinctive with a very broad flattened abdomen, four wing patches and, in the male, the abdomen becomes pruinose blue.
