Libellula depressa
The Broad-bodied Chaser, Libellula depressa, is one of the most common dragonflies in Europe and central Asia. It is very distinctive with a very broad flattened abdomen, four wing patches and, in the male, the abdomen becomes pruinose blue.
Near water
These photographs, not the best when it comes to color or composition, show the complexity of the wings and how they are attachment to the back of animal. Like watching the mechanics of a helicopter rotor.
