June dew

Keeled skimmer - Kleiner Blaupfeil - Orthetrum coerulescens

 

Found and photographed with a fisheye lens in a track of a path on a summer morning here in the south of the Eifel.

In this state, as seen here, dragonflies are flightless but did you know that they are the fastest insects in the world and can fly up to 50 km/h (31 mph).
