[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
The Emperor Dragonfly, Anax imperator, is a large and powerful species of European hawker dragonfly of the family Aeshnidae, averaging 78 millimetres (3.1 in) in length.
Males have a sky blue abdomen marked with a diagnostic black dorsal stripe and an apple green thorax. Females have a green thorax and abdomen. The male is highly territorial, and difficult to approach. The species lives by larger ponds, gravel pits, and slow rivers.
This powerful Dragonfly is one of the largest species in Europe. They frequently fly high up into the sky in search of prey, which includes Butterflies, Four-spotted Chasers and tadpoles; small prey is eaten on the wing. The females lay the eggs into plants such as pondweed, and always lay alone.

Bonjour Robi,
Tu l'as donc photographié ton Anax imperator..tu as probablement été très patient, à moins d'être tombé dessus par hasard :-). Bonne netteté sur le bel insecte et j'aime bien aussi l'arrière-plan coloré. Il semble que les libellules soient l'un de tes sujets préférés!
Je te souhaite une belle semaine et de pouvoir profiter du beau temps. Moi, je suis toujours cloîtrée chez moi, car pas encore remise.
Amitiés
Anne

Hi, Robi, once again.
I also like this photo so much. Especially I am impressed with clarity and clearness of the best colours as well as crisp sharpness of the dragonfly and fry stem. I think composition of the shot is excellent too and bright colours of the BG are very attractive. My kind regards and TFS.
Alexei.

dommage pour la deuxième herbe qui complique un peu la composition mais sinon bravo
