I took advantage of a beautiful warm and sunny spring Sunday and drove to the lakes at Sebberup. Turned out I was not the only one making good use of the nice weather. At one of the lakes several Codulia aenea were emerging, making the transition from larva to adult dragonfly. This transformation is a […]
Weather has been quite good this April so I have just been waiting for the first dragonflies to emerge. I visited one of my favorite locations yesterday but with no luck, so tried another location today and this time with more success. Here I spotted several newly emerged Pyrrhosoma nymphula and managed to get a […]
The location where I photographed the Cordulegaster boltonii is also a habitat of the in Denmark relatively rare Orthetrum coerulescens. There were quite a few of them, especially males each aggressively defending their own little territory. Nothing were holding them back from chasing off the much larger Cordulegaster boltonii. I also saw a few females, […]
It has been several years since I last photographed the large and beautifully colored Cordulegaster boltonii. So, this weekend I decided to take a trip to one of its few habitats here in Denmark. At this location there is a small stream with clear spring water which is the favored type of habitat of its […]
The layout and general look and feel of odonata.dk has been updated to be more modern and suitable for mobile devices. The original website layout was getting pretty old so many things have happened since then. The update is not fully complete yet so things might still change and not always work perfectly.
As the weather finally has become warmer (a lot warmer actually) the abundance of dragonflies has also increased rapidly the last weeks. I have been visiting the location Sebberup several times lately. It consists of several small lakes surrounded by meadow and forest areas. So, a perfect habitat for dragonflies. Especially Orthetrum cancellatum and Libellula […]
The dragonfly season of 2021 started very late here in Denmark due to low temperatures and really bad spring weather. But better late than never I had the first few encounters with Pyrrhosoma nymphula, Cordulia aenea and Brachytron pratense this year on one of the last days of May. Nice to be out there with the […]
Around three days after my first visit to Sebberup this year, I went by there again to see if more dragonflies had emerged. This time there were a lot more Pyrrhosoma nymphula and Cordulia aenea. I also spotted a few Coenagrion pulchellum. Especially Cordulia aenea seems to be very abundant this year. More photos have […]
April has been really warm and sunny this year, so I have just been waiting for the first dragonflies to emerge. I was out looking once in late April but without any success. Went out again today to an area called Sebberup with several smaller lakes. In a sunny spot sheltered from the wind I […]
Shortly after my first ever encounter with Sympetrum fonscolombii, I drove to another lake close to where I live. Here I spotted several small red dragonflies clearly looking like Sympetrum but behaving differently than I am used to. They were very shy and moved around a lot, making it really difficult to get close to […]
