S. vulgatum announcing the final two weeks of this season. This species usually is the the only dragonfly to either appear a second time in my area during a given year, engaging in its final mating period in September where most odonata already have ended or are close to ending their respective season, or exclusively during early autumn. It tends to prefer woody areas and only tends to leave the outskirts of the forest during mating periods.

Another one of the pictures I took recently! This dragonfly really didn't want to sit still for longer than a few seconds at a time, so it took quite a while until I got a good picture. I love how colorful dragonflys are ✨

Der Gattungsname Aeshna für die Mosaikjungfern hat eine interessante Geschichte. Er sollte Aeschna geschrieben werden, doch durch einen Druckfehler verlor er das C. Und was er bedeutet, ist auch nicht klar. Vielleicht "hässlich". Die Exuvie, die Hülle des letzten Larvenstadiums, könnte das bestätigen.

I was stunned by this Blue Dasher. Look at those marbled eyes! The little spikes on its legs! The way it clasps the twig! Adorbs.

Ein kleiner Sommermoment ✨

Eine Libelle, für einen Augenblick ganz still. Das Sonnenlicht fällt durch ihre zarten Flügel und lässt die feinen Adern golden schimmern und funkeln.

Aus der Nähe wirkt es beinahe, als würde sie sanft lächeln. 💚

Manchmal genügt so eine kleine Begegnung, und aus einem flüchtigen Augenblick wird ein besonderer Moment.

I had almost given up on finding this dragonfly in flight through the viewfinder AND getting it in focus before it pulled off another one of its wild moves. But.... 😁 not the best one, but I'm happy with it.

After yesterday's male, a female Southern Hawker turned up today, laying eggs around the margins of my pond 😀

She positioned them on the rotting wood (and stone) edging the pond, more than 20cm above the (currently low) surface of the water. They will hatch next Spring.

The larvae develop over two to three years, hunting tadpoles and invertebrates in the pond. Adults can take insects as large as butterflies.

This strange-looking thing in the picture is actually a dragonfly exuviae, the empty exoskeleton of a dragonfly larva. When ready to transform into adults, the larva crawls out of the water and finds a suitable place to emerge. Once the adult dragonfly has emerged and flown away, all that is left is the thin fragile outer casing of the larva, known as the exuviae. #insects #dragonfly #wildlife

this one has a coloration similar to a male, but it's darker, and the tip of its tail appears to be a female. since I had mostly posted photos of males until now, glad I was able to get a good look at a female before they disappear for the season (2 photos) #dragonfly #butterflydragonfly #nature

So! Nicht dass ihr noch meint ich erzähle euch was vom Pferd! Gerade bei kleinen Arbeiten am Wehr Glück gehabt und eine der grossen Libellen im Flug erwischt. So ungefähr wie die im Vorspann von MiB! 😜

Die Entengrütze aufm Teich etwas unscharf, 🤷🏼‍♂️ weil ich mitziehen musste. 1 von 5 hatte ich sie dann erwischt! 😁





I don’t think I ever saw a dragonfly migration until today. It’s pretty cool. Not exactly clouds of them but some pretty good spurts. It’s been going on all day. #dragonfly #migration #nature #dragonflies


Large brownish dragonflies (possibly variegated meadowhawk) are flying low near Half Moon Bay today. We followed their flight path toward the Mirada East wetlands. Didn't get far enough to see if they were flying north FROM the marsh or THROUGH the marsh. Alas, none would stop for a photo.

Will have to investigate further south. If you live Coastside, see if they're cruising through your neighborhood.

A warm walk in the woods on a lovely day and I got this Beautiful Demoiselle (according to iNaturalist). Beautiful anyway 🙂

#insektenSamstag 🥳

ich hab euch ja auch die libelle noch versprochen, wegen des schön crispen fotos :3
einfarbiger untergrund wäre noch besser gewesen, da sähe man die flügel besser, aber man kann ja nicht alles haben und bei mir ist halt alles so wie ich's vorfinde, nichts gestaged

Handed my phone off to my bestie and she captured this beauty at the pond.
