[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Picture taken at the Zabrodzie village near Goleniow.
The female of the Beautiful Demoiselle (Calopteryx virgo). It is often found among fast-flowing waters. The male has dark brown-black wingtips with blue veins. Immature insects often have much paler, browner wings. They have metallic blue-green bodies and blue-green eyes. The female has dark brown iridescent wings, a white patch near the tip of the wings and a metallic green body with a bronze tip of the abdomen. Males are territorial, perching in bankside plants and trees. They chase passing insects, often returning to the same perch. Males can stray well away from water, females live away from water unless egg-laying or seeking a mate.
PL – ważka: świtezianka dziewica (świtezianka modra).
