Spiny Baskettail dragonfly (Epitheca spinigera), emerging from the nymph life stage to the adult stage, in process free from nymphal shuck and wings not yet expanded, macro close-up.

The hard empty case, or skin, is left behind when a nymph moults - the end of the aquatic larval stage - and emerges as a dragonfly

Both sexes of the Four-spotted chaser are golden-brown, getting darker towards the tip of the body, and with yellow spots along the sides. Two dark spots at the front edge of each wing give this dragonfly its name and an easily recognisable appearance.

A dragonfly lies motionless on the floor, its transparent wings spread wide. Its slender body remains still, while the light reveals the delicate patterns on its wings. A quiet moment from an insect that usually soars through the air

$Tot 50-55mm, Ab, 37-42mm, Hw 30-35mm.\nIdentification:\nThe characters of this clubtail are rather different . It prefers very large (lowland) rivers and may easily be overlooked. Populations can best be found by searching for exuviae on river banks.\nOccurrence:\nA north Asian species, with western outposts in large rivers such as the Rhine, Loire and Po. Common in large lowland rivers in eastern Europe, but staged a strong comeback in Western Europe in the 1990s. Now abundant in rivers such as the Rhine, Elbe and Danube, right down to their estuaries.\nHabitat:\nSlow flowing lower sections of large rivers with sandy beds. Larvae burrow shallowly in fine substrates with relatively high concentrations of organic matter.\nFlight Season:\nLate and protracted, compared with other Gomphus species, from early June to early October, with maximum emergence in June and July.\n\nThis is a scarce Gomphus Species along the large Dutch Rivers. This Picture is made along the River Waal, near “Slot Loevestein” in the Province of Gelderland.$

$From the dazzling flight of dragonflies to the diligent work of honeybees, insects and spiders play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance. These small creatures support pollination, pest control, and biodiversity, reminding us of the importance of sustainable practices to protect their habitats and ensure a thriving planet for all.\nLocation: Asola , New Delhi (India)$
