From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Black-tailed Skimmer, Orthetrum cancellatum, is a European dragonfly.

The male has a blue abdomen with a black tip and transparent wings, and the female has a yellowish brown body with black zigzag marks along the abdomen and the transparent wings. This species has expanded its range, assisted by the creation of gravel pits which give it the extensive open unvegetated areas it prefers. It was first recorded in Great Britain in Essex in 1934.it is decreasing rapidly from the Maltese islands.

Hello Razvan.

You did a great job catpuring the Orthetrum cancellatum in this way. Mostly they sit on the ground wich gives not such a background as you have reached.
