The amazing blue-eyed dragonfly

in #naturephotography8 years ago

It's not really called that, I made that name up as it's the first dragonfly I had ever seen with those amazing blue eyes.
It was hard to get closer to this one, but eventually got it! :)

Hi excellent post, I invite you to https://discord.gg/H2T8Js

I was in Denmark and have seen it there serval times! Wonderful beings.

I think you can see them or alike all around the world :)

I love the name :) I think it should keep that name

Hehe thanks! maybe it should :)

Your lucky you got the great one. Usually dragonfly so sensitive to people.

Yes, I had to crawl in the bush a bit :)

These guys are very shy and alert. It is not an easy thing to take close up of them. I love them right from my childhood. I didn't know the name of this insect so I used to call them 'helicopter'. Their flying skill is unparalleled in living world. They also help us by eating mosquitoes etc.

Yes! they are amazing creatures :)

The blue eye may be their adaptive features which enable them to escape from their predator or catch their preys...

It may also help them to adapt to their environment

My take

I think my contribution deserve an upvote

Yeah that would make sense actually. Thanks!
