Four-spotted Chaser

The Four-spotted Chaser (known in America as the Four-spotted Skimmer) is a dragonfly that got its name from the four dark spots present at the front of each pair of wings.

Males and females of this species are much alike in appearance, which is very unusual for dragonflies.

Both sexes are such an acrobats that mating takes place while flying in the air.

Dutch name : Viervlek
German name : Vierfleck
Latin name : Libellula quadrimaculata

    Even if I repeat myself:
    A dragonfly image which does not need to
    shy away from any comparable one.
    Well done.
