Lesser Emperor (Anax parthenope ) Lille Kejserguldsmed (dk) Emperador Pardo (es) Mindre Kejsartrollslända (se) 2023-06-28 Amager Fælled, Denmark
Imago. ♂. Den landskabelige kanal. At last I found this species on Amager. I haven't seen it in Denmark since Bornholm two years ago. With every climate year going by I guess it'll be more common in our region, why it is not a sensation, but still a good observation. It was too fast for me to get closer photos, though it did pause mid-air right in front of me a few times. But too briefly for the ancient canon 7DII to get on it. The first photo I added to give the viewer an idea about what to look for, because even at a distance it is possible to get hold of this species. The large size and length, the generally dark body and the well-defined blue 'cube' near the thorax are unique in this Danish world... |
