Black-Tailed Skimmer
(Orthetrum cancellatum)
The Black-Tailed Skimmer is one of Europe's most widespread species, absent only from Northern Scandinavia. It's a fairly large dragonfly. With age, adult males develop extensive blue pruinescence on their abdomen, which is offset by yellow lateral patches. The females and immature males are a beautiful deep yellow colour and have wavy black lines dorsally on their abdomen. Orthetrum cancellatum is very similar to its much more localized congener the White-Tailed Skimmer, and yet it's sufficiently different to allow easy identification in the field; the species' main distinguishing feature (apart from its slightly more stocky build and intense colours) is the dark colour of the male's S8-10 and appendages and of the female's appendages.

Ciao Sergio. Eccellente macro. Nitida con buon DOF. Il colore di fondo la impreziosisce.

Hi Sergio, Another perfectly focused and great detailed macro shot of a dragonfly. Great composition, clarity and notes too.
Many thanks for sharing this my friend!
