The Living Forest (282) : Ruddy Darter (male)

Insects play a very important role in the living forest (pollinate process, natural housekeeping, food for songbirds,…)
Most of them can be found in woodland glades, like this Ruddy Darter.

This dragonfly-species has a huge colour distinction between the male which is strong vivid red, while the female has a yellow-brown colour.

Dutch name : Bloedrode heidelibel (mannetje)
German name : Blutrote Heidelibelle (männchen)
Latin name : Sympetrum sanguineum

complementary green really becomes him! ; ) and his fiery abdomen is most definitely a statement the plain-jane ladies can't ever resist! ; )) love the three-dimensional feel to the composition, the hint of a red behind the red of his body and – last but not least! – the aviator goggles ; ) reflecting the light are my favorite details. greetings, sabine.

I haven't seen one of these before .... a top shot of the darter in what looks to be difficult light conditions and fine detail in the wings :-)
