Dragonflies and Damselflies
- Thread starter AlanF
- Start date
Thanks, Alan.
I suppose, I even saw a new species.
Would be #35 here.
But I couldn‘t even get a try on it, as it was just flying fast pass the reeds.
If I got my sight and numbers right, it must have been a hairy dragonfly (Brachytron pratense).
Would be fantastic if we had this rare one here. But I don‘t have much time throughout the next weeks to prove it.

It is so damn difficult to ID them when they are immature.
I needed ObsIdentify, too, to be sure

What do you reckon this one is? An immature Common Blue? Obsidentify gives higher probability of a Variable.It is so damn difficult to ID them when they are immature.

Top view on the abdomen would make it easier. especially the first abdomen segment.
But I am very much with you and what ObsIdentify says that it is a immature male Enallagma cyathigerum (common blue/bluet)
Go here:

scroll down to the point "Reifezeit" and compare it to the photo of Barbara Bargmann.
Look at the abdomen pattern. I would give it more than the 67% that ObsID tells me.

The Four-spotted Chaser season has just started. There was a very unusual one with a pale blue frons, which surprised me when I downloaded (R5ii + RF 200-800mm). (Last one was photobombed).

I haven't seen any dragonflies in person yet, but damselflies are visiting my garden:

The wing position was completely accidental, I only noticed when editing, I was too busy with keeping the AF point on the head during shooting.

That's a really very nice photo. I understand your frustration, but you did a great job with that lens.

Really nice, Even with less FL.One of the rare times when I left home without the 100-500...( 70-200 instead)
(The best camera is the one you have with you).
For the records:
Broad-bodied chaser (Plattbauch)
Not sure, but it looks like a female (brown abdomen). Male would be blue.
