Scarce Chaser (female)
The Scarce Chaser is a fairly rare dragonfly and is classified as critically endangered (!) on the “Red List of vulnerable and threatened species”, mainly due to lack of its specific ideal habitat of marshes with high quality water.
The picture shows a female Scarce Chaser with its typical brown-orange abdomen (the abdomen of the male is blue).

Brilliant. I love its fragile translucent net wings most, I think. Such a pity more and more species face extinction nowadays. Rgds, ViolaNorbert Kappenstein 04/05/2011 18:02
