The Living Forest (8) : Banded demoiselle

Last weeks I was exploring several forests in the Belgian Ardennes.
This is the 8th. picture of a series illustrating the living forest.

Insects play an important role in the living forest (pollinate process, natural housekeeping, food for songbirds,…)

Most of them can be found in the open spaces, like this Banded demoiselle (female), an exceedingly dexterous flyer.

Dutch name : Weidebeekjuffer
German name : Gebänderte Prachtlibelle
Latin name : Calopteryx splendens
