A new life (y 4)

Y con ésta termino la pequeña serie de la emergencia de O. cancellatum. En la primera que publiqué el imago se descuelga para facilitar la salida del abdomen; en la segunda y tercera está desarrollando el tamaño definitivo tanto del abdomen como de las alas.

Para facilitar la salida completa del abdomen se produce esta secuencia que no pude tomar en ese momento pues apenas dura 4 ó 5 segundos y me pilló desprevenido.

Con un gran esfuerzo se incorpora y se agarra con las patas delanteras a la exuvia y entonces se produce la salida completa del abdomen.

Está tomada de una emergencia sobre el muro de la balsa y para mí el momento, es especial. En este caso se trata de un macho.

And with this I finish the small series of the emergency of O. cancellatum. In the first one that I published, the imago goes down to facilitate the exit of the abdomen; in the second and third he is developing the definitive size of both the abdomen and the wings.

To facilitate the complete exit of the abdomen, this sequence is produced that I could not take at that time since it only lasts 4 or 5 seconds and caught me off guard.

With great effort, he stands up and grasps the forefoot with the forefoot and then the complete exit of the abdomen takes place.

It was taken from an emergency on the wall of the raft and for me the moment is special. In this case it is a male.
