This is one of my favourites insects and I have been reminded of it by the fabulous picture from Murat (kokonike) he posted yesterday.
The specimen here is a female, the charcteristic pincers at the end of the abdomen lacking.

A stupendous shot of this very very interesting creature, Anne.
Phenomenal sharpness and details on the subject.

Superb camera control here for which you deserve to be congratulated.

Hello Anne,
A superb macro of Libelloides coccajus, a group of insects that I wish we had in my country. As a compensation I can enjoy the sight of this sharp image taken from a fine dorsal POV with excellent DOF.
Thank you and best wishes,
Ivan

Ya me extrañaba que vieras tan pronto Libelloides !! Es un insecto muy atractivo por sus colores y peculiar vuelo.
Bien captada aunque falta un poco de luz.

Merhaba Anna,
çok değişik bir tür ve harika fotoğrafı.
Renkler, netlik ve detaylar çok güzel olmuş.
Tebrikler.

Hi Anne, a fine macro capture of this beautiful Libelloides with excellent clarity and fine composition.
TFS and cheers,

Hallo Anel
Great capture with brilliant bright and shiny colours and sharpness. A simple but beautiful composition. The pose of the insect right in the middle of the frame is splendid, and those long antennas is indeed something special. The blurred background emphasise the black colour of the insect and is displayed well. You have used the light well to bring out the gorgeous colours to its best. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Hola Anne,
Excelente captura de este curiosa y bella especie, buena nitidez con la que se muestran los detalles, agradable composición, luz y color, saludos
José Ramón

This is one of which I have never seen nor heard...perhaps in my youth...but more than likely a provincial species...and well seen Anne..in your special technique and presentation.

Bonjour Anne !
Voilà un insecte que je rêve de rencontrer un jour - il est si beau ! Et tu as réussi une photo magnifique, pleine de détails, avec des couleurs naturelles et une jolie composition. L'arrière-plan flou sur lequel on peut encore distinguer un pré en fleurs rajoute à la beauté de l'image. Félicitations !
Valérie.
