ANAX IMPERATOR

Emperor Dragonfly
Grosse Königslibelle
Anax Empereur

Family: Aeshnidae
Wingspan: 9.5-11cm
Habitat: variety of aquatic habitats
Distribution: Europe, nearby Africa and Asia

They frequently fly high up into the sky in search of prey, which includes butterflies, Four-spotted Chasers and tadpoles; small prey is eaten while flying. They breed in a variety of aquatic habitats from large ponds to dykes, but they require a plentiful supply of vegetation in the water. The females lay the eggs into plants such as pondweed, and always lay alone. The male is highly territorial, and difficult to approach. (Wikipedia)
