As per Wikipedia:
The Menelaus blue morpho (Morpho menelaus) is one of thirty species of butterfly in the subfamily Morphinae.
[1] Its wingspan is approximately 12 cm, and its dorsal forewings and hindwings are a bright, iridescent blue edged with black, while the ventral surfaces are brown.
[2] Its iridescent wings are an area of interest in research because of its unique microstructure.
[3] Due to its characteristic blue color, Morpho menelaus is considered valuable among collectors and was widely hunted in the 20th century.
Anciennement synonyme d'E. intermedia qui aujourd'hui est considérée comme une espèce différente. Merci à l'excellent Frans Janssens.

Nephrotoma est un genre d’insectes diptères nématocères de la famille des Tipulidae.
La Tipule est plus connue sous le surnom de Cousin.
Taille, de 12 à 25 millimètres.
Nephrotoma est étonnamment et joliment coloré, avec un corps tigré.
Chez la femelle, l'extrémité de l'abdomen se termine par ce qui ressemble à un dard, mais il s'agit d'un ovipositeur, organe servant à la ponte.
Contrairement aux apparences, et surtout aux rumeurs, les Tipules ne piquent pas, elles sont complètement inoffensives.

En la Laguna de Talayuelas comenzamos esta QDD Blauverd por la SerranÃa de Cuenca. Este macho de Ischnura elegans fue de los primeros que fotografié, me dejaba acercarme. También và a jóvenes de Sympetrum fonscolombii, de Crocothemis erythraea, pero éstos estaban muy esquivos.

Ischnura elegans, ♂
In the Talayuelas Lagoon we start this QDD Blauverd in the SerranÃa de Cuenca. This male of Ischnura elegans was one of the first ones I photographed, he let me get closer. I also saw youngsters of Sympetrum fonscolombii, of Crocothemis erythraea, but these were very elusive.

A flash of blue and green on the pond as male and female Damselflies carry out their courtship. Shot with a 300mm telephoto lens as I couldn’t get close enough with my 105mm macro.
