Big Bug

in #photography • 6 years ago

I found this dragonfly the other day, enjoying the sun. It didn't mind my presence much, so I took a few photos.

It was a female black-tailed skimmer (Orthetrum cancellatum), gewone oeverlibel in Dutch, fairly large at 50mm (2") in length:

The males of this species are blue (older photos):

Always an impressive sight, these hunters.

Thanks for watching!
