Thanks for viewing !
Comments are welcome...
Several people have told me that these animals are called 'Dragonflies' in english. But i have doubts because in the dutch language we have two distinct names for the really big ones and the smaller ones. The big ones such as Gomphidea and Aeshnidae are called 'Libellen' in dutch and those are the ones that imo are called Dragonflies in english. The smaller ones such as the ones in the photos are called 'Waterjuffers' in dutch. I cant find it on the internet... so if you can help me... please, please :o))
Many thanks,
Enmos

Perect DoF! Two excellent captures - of two 'dragonflies' :)
In german there is only 'Libelle'. What is known in german as 'Wasserlfer' looks like mosquitos running along water.
Enmos
Thanks for the comment and the rating Haroon !!! In dutch 'Wasserlfer' is 'Schaatsenrijder' LOL :o)

Hello Enmos these are very fine macro-shots. They are called damsels or damselflies in english! Just a great macro job :)

This is called a damselfly. A damselfly stores its wings vertically. A dragonfly stores its wings horizontally.

WOW... both are stunners!!! Like Ralf I loved to vote two times, but can only give one ;o) In German we also know the word "Libellen" and your 'Waterjuffers' are called "Wasserjungfern" here.

Don't know the english names, but (as Moni already stated) your dutch names are quite similar to the german names. Awesome images anyways. Very well done!
