animals dragon-fly

The dragon fly has been attacked by a wasp and died some minutes later.

Wow...superb detail Franz. The background color fits so well with the color of the dragon fly.

Excellent colors, light and details, Franz. A really exceptional image capture. Best regards, Paul.

Quite the flying apparatus on its back- interesting that a wasp can do in one of these guys.

Paul, thank you for your nice comment. Regards, Franz

Gregory, I never saw something like that before. You can see, that there is a hole in the head of the dragon fly. I think that was made by the wasp.

Bravo Franz you have well documented this drama of Nature, ciao Giangiorgio

Hi Franz,

 

a beautiful emperor dragonfly portrait, it's a shame to hear a wasp killed this insect. I have seen a fight between a wasp and a dragonfly that ended in the death of the wasp, so maybe this female was old or weakened. Kind regards, Vincent

Vincent, thank you for your comment. Regards, Franz

Great close up. Nice detail!!

Warren, thank you for your comment. Regards, Franz
