#206 Scared?

2009.07.25



[Libellula fulva - Scarce Chaser (male). Guadarrama Mountains, Rascafria - Madrid]

♦ All that glitters is not gold, so don't be scare of this harmless dragonfly. His fierce and sinister appearance is merely a facade to scare away predators.

The dragonfly is one of the oldest and most amazing insects in the animal world. They can fly forward or backward, in a straight line, up or down vertically, spin in the air over his body, stopping in the middle of nowhere and float!! They can reach a speed equivalent to 200 km/h. for a man, and they can cover hundreds kilometres flying without stop.

Appearances can be deceptive, but to know in-depth an animal can be fascinating!

lookagain Incredible shots, Ruth....especially #3!!! I've read that prehistoric dragonflies had wingspans of over 2 ft. (61 cm) - what a shot that would make!!

Chete Será todo fachada... pero no se si elegir susto o muerte !!
Si ese bicho midiera medio metro, sería un actor perfecto para cualquier película de terror de serie B
