A stunning close-up captures a male Broad-bodied Chaser dragonfly (Libellula depressa) perched on a dry twig against a vibrant, out-of-focus green background. The intricate details of its reddish-brown head, white and orange marked thorax, and distinctive yellow abdomen with dark segments are sharply rendered. Its delicate, transparent wings, showing subtle blue and red venation, are spread, suggesting a moment of rest or vigilance. This macro shot, taken on May 17th, beautifully highlights the insect's natural beauty and its common presence in well-vegetated, wetland habitats. The fast shutter speed of 1/1600s at f/8.0 and ISO 800 ensures crisp detail and a pleasing depth of field, making the subject stand out vividly. The species is widespread and not considered endangered. #dragonfly #insectphotography #wildlife #macrophotography #naturephotography Copyright by Hans Enderl foto@enderl.de
