Broad bodied chaser - Libellula depressa

Length: 39-48mm
The very broad, flattened abdomen is characteristic making the insect appear "fat". Both sexes have pale blue, thin ante-humeral stripes and brown eyes. The wing bases are very dark brown.
The males quickly develop a blue pruinescence on the abdomen with yellow spots along the segment sides.
Females are a golden brown on the abdomen, again with yellow spots at the margins.

Habitat
This dragonfly is usually found at ponds and may be the first to colonise new ponds. It regularly returns to the same low perch after swift flights along the pond margins.

Hello Hans,
An excellent capture of a female L. depressa, well focused on the body to achieve fine sharpness against a pleasing, if slightly noisy, green BG. Nice compositionon the dead rose twig too.
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan

Hi Hans,
for me it is one of the most impressive dragonflies. The golden body and those fantastic wings. You captured this lady so well, I like it very much, thanks

Hallo Hans,
Ik weet dat ik nog een foto achter loop, maar deze wil ik zeker niet voorbij laten gaan. Fantastische foto in uitstekende scherpte en details. Vooral de linkerkant tegen de groene achtergrond is mooi. Prachtige kleuren en een goede compositie.
Groet,
Peter
