This striking close-up image captures a Broad-bodied Chaser (Libellula depressa), a robust and fast-flying dragonfly known for its wide, flattened abdomen. The photo reveals fine details such as the intricate veining of the transparent wings, the vibrant blue or yellowish body (depending on sex), and the large compound eyes. Perched on a plant stem, the dragonfly is a remarkable subject of macro photography, showcasing the beauty and complexity of insect anatomy and behavior in the natural world.
