The Libellulidae family of dragonflies is a diverse and captivating group, found in various parts of the world. In Kakadu, Northern Territory, Australia, a Banded Flutterer adult can be seen gracefully perched on a twig during the tranquil month of September. Its intricate wings shimmer in the sunlight, showcasing its beauty. Meanwhile, in Lower Tamar Lakes, Cornwall, UK during May, a Scarce Chaser dragonfly awakens covered in delicate dewdrops. Resting on common sorrel leaves, it creates an ethereal scene that highlights nature's artistry. In Sai Kung lies the mesmerizing Fulvous Forest Skimmer or Russet Percher dragonfly. A female specimen displays her vibrant colors against lush surroundings; she is truly a sight to behold. Moving to Cornwall again but this time in June - we witness another marvel: the Common Darter dragonfly resting gently on Foxglove petals adorned with glistening droplets of morning dew. This enchanting image captures both fragility and strength within nature's embrace. Further north in Finland during June emerges a newly transformed Four-spotted Chaser dragonfly. With its wings still drying out after leaving behind its aquatic life stage, it symbolizes rebirth and transformation. Dunsdon Nature Reserve offers solace for Common Darter dragonflies as they find respite on reeds while basking under warm sunlight. Their presence adds vibrancy to this serene sanctuary. Venturing into the Netherlands reveals another breathtaking sight - a Banded Darter perches delicately upon a flower petal. Its slender body harmonizes perfectly with nature's palette. A different kind of Libellula takes flight as Miles M-39B Libellula soars through the skies above unknown lands—a testament to human ingenuity inspired by these magnificent creatures. Orthetrum Albistylum graces Lura Park in Lombardy Italy with its elegance and grace.
