SONY DSCBirth of a dragonfly Dragonfly metamorphosis
Cicada molt on green leaf.
05 june 2024, Buding, Communauté de communes de l'Arc Mosellan, Moselle, Lorraine, Grand Est, France. It's summer. At the edge of a pond, in the reed bed, a dragonfly larva has climbed up a leaf, then hung on to it to undergo its metamorphosis. The adult insect has left, leaving behind its half-open exuvia.

Tot 50-55mm, Ab, 37-42mm, Hw 30-35mm.\nIdentification:\nThe characters of this clubtail are rather different . It prefers very large (lowland) rivers and may easily be overlooked. Populations can best be found by searching for exuviae on river banks.\nOccurrence:\nA north Asian species, with western outposts in large rivers such as the Rhine, Loire and Po. Common in large lowland rivers in eastern Europe, but staged a strong comeback in Western Europe in the 1990s. Now abundant in rivers such as the Rhine, Elbe and Danube, right down to their estuaries.\nHabitat:\nSlow flowing lower sections of large rivers with sandy beds. Larvae burrow shallowly in fine substrates with relatively high concentrations of organic matter.\nFlight Season:\nLate and protracted, compared with other Gomphus species, from early June to early October, with maximum emergence in June and July.\n\nThis is a scarce Gomphus Species along the large Dutch Rivers. This Picture is made along the River Waal, near “Slot Loevestein” in the Province of Gelderland.

Cicada molt
Field characters: 66-84mm, abdomen: 50-61mm, Hw: 45-52mm.\nBlue Emperor is presently a common species, which is only absent from parts of the northern provinces of Groningen and Friesland. It is found at most larger bodies of standing water. Compared to the pre-1990 period, the species has increased strongly. So is with other dragonflies, Blue Emperor has benefit of the gradual warming in the last decades.\n\nThe largest Aeshnid in most of our area and common Species in the Netherlands..

A close-up of a brown butterfly with crumpled wings resting on a green leaf. The butterfly's wings appear crumpled, possibly due to natural wear and tear after emerging from its chrysalis or encountering environmental challenges. Despite its damaged wings, the butterfly exudes a quiet resilience, symbolizing the beauty and fragility of nature.
