June Status of Dragonfly Season 2015

June 2015 is almost over so it is a good time for a short status. One thing that has been almost entirely absent during the past month is true summer weather. Most of the time it has been cold, grey and rather windy. This has also affected…

New Photos of Aeshna isoceles Added

The first, and up till now only time I have been able to photograph the Aeshna isoceles goes back a couple of seasons. It is not an easy dragonfly to get within shooting range of. First of all it is not so common in my area of Denmark. Secondly…

New Photos of C. pulchellum, P. nymphula and C. aenea Added.

The weather here in Denmark is still rather cold and very changeable, so the dragonfly season is a bit delayed compared to last year. Anyway, I have been out hunting dragonflies several times during the last couple of weeks, most of the times…

New Photos of Orthetrum Cancellatum and Libellula Depressa
