  1. I am very satisfied with this photo that I got and the eyes and the wing attachment sharp.
    Promoted by myself because I think it matches homepage quality.

The Common Darter is a dragonfly of the family Libellulidae native to Eurasia. It is one of the most common dragonflies in Europe, occurring in a wide variety of water bodies, though with a preference for breeding in still water such as ponds and lakes. In the south of its range adults are on the wing all year round.
