| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Trying my new camera for macros. This shot was taken yesterday.
Orthetrum brunneum, the southern skimmer, is a species of 'skimmers' belonging to the family Libellulidae.
Description
The adults grow up to 40–45 millimetres (1.6–1.8 in) long. Their dimensions on average are larger than in Orthetrum coerulescens.
The thorax and the abdomen are pale blue in males, yellowish-brown or greyish-brown in females. Young males are brownish. The abdomen is relatively flattened and shows a thin middorsal black line and distinct points on each segment. The wings are hyaline, with yellow or pale brown pterostigma. The wingspan reaches 66–70 millimetres (2.6–2.8 in).
