Hello Hivers

Today I couldn't work, because the rain continued to fall for several hours, even though it was only drizzling, it was enough to delay my work. I used this opportunity to explore the bushes and look for macrophotography objects. I found several objects, one of which was this dragonfly.

As time goes by, this type of dragonfly is rarely seen now, previously they were easy to find anywhere, but now their numbers are decreasing, perhaps this species has moved to the wild (mountains)

Sources say that the above is a type of female dragonfly, the males are purple or blue, while the females are yellow as seen in the picture, that's the only thing that differentiates males and females, the shape is the same.

They are larger than dragonflies, but they are a little short, maybe their body size is only 3x the size of dragonflies, and smaller than other types of dragonflies.

However, their beauty is no less interesting, their colors are beautiful, with attractive eyeballs, and what is most unique in my opinion is, when they perch their tails often rise upwards, this is a strange behavior that other dragonflies don't have.

For this time I think that's all I can share, thank you and see you again on another occasion
