  1. I always bring all my lenses, except when I don't, and then I regret it as I need just that lens I did not bring. Happens every single time :) Posted 7 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.
