From the stunning Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park in southern Spain to the picturesque landscapes of Belgium and Germany, these winged wonders captivate with their beauty and grace. One such member is the Western clubtail dragonfly (Gomphus pulchellus), showcasing its vibrant colors against the backdrop of Sierra de Grazalema. Its delicate wings flutter as it gracefully hovers over blooming Spreading Bellflowers (Campanula patula) in North Hesse, Germany. In Groot Schietveld, Wuustwezel, Belgium, we encounter a female Western clubtail perched on a plant stem during May. Her presence adds an air of elegance to this tranquil setting. The Common Tigertail (Ictinogomphus ferox) takes center stage in Kruger National Park as it rests upon a twig. Its striking appearance leaves us mesmerized by nature's artistry. Meanwhile, the Club-tailed dragonfly (Gomphus Vulgatissimus) showcases its unique features that set it apart from other species within the Odonata order. With its distinct tail shape and intricate patterns on its wings, this dragonfly truly stands out among its peers. Zooming closer into their world reveals astonishing details - from the intense gaze of Green-eyed Dragonflies to their meticulous perching positions on plant stems. These close-up encounters allow us to appreciate every intricate detail that makes them so captivating. Even through time immemorial, it has left traces for us to marvel at. A fossil discovery unveils a preserved Gomphidae dragonfly specimen dating back centuries ago - reminding us that these magnificent creatures have graced our planet for ages.
