Description

Back to the pictures from our trip to Lesbos in September 2011: with a friend’s help (thank you Nicolas M.), I finally completed the identification of the dragonflies… The Red-veined Darter (Sympetrum fonscolombii) is a dragonfly of the genus Sympetrum. It is a common species in southern Europe. Le sympétrum à nervures rouges (Sympetrum fonscolombii) est une des nombreuses espèces de libellules du genre sympetrum. Thank you very much for your comments & favs on my previous upload :

Awesome!! Never seen this! Excellent color and the detail is great. And the 500 mm. ensures that the lovers were not interrupted :)
