Este macho de Platycnemis latipes se estaba almorzando un diminuto insecto posado en esa planta seca, lo que me permitió acercarme a él y hacerle unas fotos.

Los Platycnemis se caracterizan por tener las tibias anchas (en forma de pluma), patas blancas y con cerdas relativamente largas. Eslo que suelen decir algunos libros.

 

This male of Platycnemis latipes was having lunch with a tiny insect perched on that dry plant, which allowed me to get close to him and take some photos of him.

Platycnemis are characterized by having wide tibiae (feather-shaped), white legs, and relatively long bristles. This is what some books usually say.
