Vagrant Darter
Vagrant Darter (Sympetrum vulgatum). This photo is taken through a reversed 50mm lens. I saw someone here ( myriorama) posting photos made like that, and wanted to give it a try. I had to come really close to the dragonfly, a few centimeters. On earlier efforts the lens touched its wings and it flew away. But in this case it worked.
