| Description |
After sitting for a while on a shiny place near a river in the Ardennes, they landed on my knee to teach some Kamasutra lessons Damselflies (Zygoptera) are very delicate, slender insects, weak and fluttering in flight. The head is rectangular and large eyes are positioned on either side, a bit like a hammerhead. The front and back wings are the same shape and are normally held closed along the abdomen when the damselfly is at rest. This couple is from the species Calopteryx virgo (Dutch : Bosbeekjuffer; Eng : Beautiful demoiselle"). The female (on the left) has dark brown irridescent wings and a metallic green body ; the male has dark brown-blacks wingtips with blue veins and a metallic blue-green body. Breathtaking when they sit on you! Vandaag landde een jufferpaar van de soort "bosbeekjuffer" (Odonata of libellen - suborde Zygoptera of juffers) op mijn knie om hun ding gewoon verder te doen... Geen perfecte foto maar het was al onmogelijk om te ademenen... |
