Description
Nella foto di oggi un ‘altra amica che si è prestata a un servizio fotografico molto ravvicinato. A momenti si alzava in volo per tornare nello stesso punto cambiando la posa . A momenti alzava la faccia verso di me con un movimento della bocca ( ho pensato mi inviasse baci , sempre meglio essere ottimisti ). Ho fatto una serie di foto , anche a pochi cm ,quasi a sfiorarla .
In the picture of today another friend that lent itself to a very close photo. At times he got to his flight to return to the same point by changing the pose. At times she raised her face towards me with a movement of the mouth (I thought I could send kisses, always better to be optimistic). I made a series of photos, even a few cm, almost touching her.

L'adulto è una libellula di grandi dimensioni, con corpo lungo oltre 4 cm e apertura alare di 7-8 cm e livrea caratterizzata dalla vivace pigmentazione dell'addome.
The Dragonfly depressed Linnaeus, 1758, is an insect of the family Libellulidae (Odonata: Anisoptera). One of the most common dragonflies in Europe.
The adult dragonfly is a large body along with more than 4 cm and a wingspan of 7-8 cm and characterized by vivid plumage pigmentation of the abdomen.
The head is mobile, equipped with large compound eyes, almost joined at the summit, three ocelli and antennae short and thin. The mouthparts are chewing type.
The thorax is robust, dark reddish-brown in male, yellowish-brown in females. The pronotum is large and crossed by a median longitudinal groove, but are particularly developed tergites and pleura of the second and third segment. The legs are well developed but not very functional and the front ones are raptatorio type, suitable for grasping the prey in flight. The wings are well developed, transparent and hyaline, with an extensive pigmentation, reddish brown, the proximal zone, triangular in hind wings. As in all Odonata, the wings of L. depressed have a rich veins. As in all Anisoptera, the hind wings have a greater development than the front, back rowers in the region and the broader anal area, and rest are kept open and horizontal. The costal margin is slightly wedged at the confluence of subcosta subapicale area and the pterostigma is evident, in contrast to the transparency of hyaline membrane.
The abdomen is long and square, tapered rear, light blue in the back in the male honey-yellow in the female with a median longitudinal line that goes back to its full length in both sexes. The ovipositor of females is relatively short.
Good day

A stunning image! I learn so much from you picutres. It seems to be concentrating on that white substance on the twig. Un'immagine mozzafiato! Imparo così tanto da voi picutres. Sembra essere concentrando su tale sostanza bianca sul ramoscello.
Fai delle foto sempre bellissime, Mario... anche questa è fantastica! :)
Lovely presentation
Supertolle Makro-Aufnahme. Gefällt mir sehr gut!
Excellent!
I love your pictures of dragonflies! You capture what I see when looking through the lens but have not captured. I remember that head and mouth movement you mentioned in your narrative. I had a dragonfly do that to me in Arkansas. I wondered if he was flirting with me or telling me, 'This is MY stick! Go find your own!' I prefer to think flirting too. This is such a superb capture! Superb detail of the wings and the hairs on the legs. Beautiful color and dof. Excellent shot! Have a great week! Mi piace la tua foto di libellule! Di catturare quello che vedo quando guardando attraverso la lente, ma non hanno catturato. Ricordo che il movimento della testa e la bocca lei ha citato nel tuo racconto. Ho avuto una libellula fare questo a me in Arkansas. Mi chiedevo se era a flirtare con me o mi diceva, 'Questo è il mio bastone! Vai e cerca la tua! ' Preferisco pensare flirtare troppo. Questa è una cattura eccellente! Spettacolari dettaglio delle ali ei peli sulle gambe. Bello il colore e grado di libertà. Ottimo colpo! Avere una grande settimana!
Beautiful capture and wonderful details in the eyes and wings. Dana
