Description
The Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum) is a dragonfly of the family Libellulidae native to Eurasia. It is one of the most common dragonflies in Europe, occurring in a wide variety of water bodies, though with a preference for breeding in still water such as ponds and lakes.
They are ambush predators, waiting on a prominent perch - such as a leaf or the top of a gate, until prey fly past, whereupon they will fly after it. They are territorial on breeding waters, often attempting to chase much bigger Dragonflies away such as Southern Hawkers.
Le sympétrum strié est une petite libellule de la famille des Libellulidae, originaire de l'Eurasie. On la retrouve dans diverses zones humides, de préférence autour des eaux calmes, comme les lacs et les étangs. C'est une des libellules les plus communes en Europe.

Great capture and detail at such a close distance. Did he pose for you for a long enough time for you to get out your macro lens and focus on him? (just kidding)

Très belle prise !!! J'ai essayé tout l'été de prendre une photo de libellule mais sans réel succès.
