A dragonfly is an insect belonging to the order Odonata, the suborder Epiprocta or, in the strict sense, the infraorder Anisoptera. It is characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong, transparent wings, and an elongated body.
Dragonflies typically eat mosquitoes, midges, and other small insects like flies, bees, and butterflies. They are therefore valued as predators, since they help control populations of harmful insects. Dragonflies are usually found around lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands because their larvae, known as "nymphs", are aquatic. Dragonflies do not normally bite or sting humans, though they will bite in order to escape, if grasped by the abdomen.
Location :- Kerala, India.
Is it common to have 5 legs for a dragonfly ??
Dragonfly was not injured during the shooting.
Love autumn season & the photo says why. It's a v. colourful time of the year with green grass & multi-coloured leaves. Add some green water, it's a great scene!
Extending almost two kilometres out over Geographe Bay, the heritage listed Busselton Jetty is the longest timber jetty (pier) in the Southern Hemisphere. The jetty is situated in the seaside resort town of Busselton, the northern gateway to the Margaret River Wine Region.
Taken during a trip from Sydney to Auckland. The cloud formation was good & the vapourising effect added to it.
Shakesphere Park is about 50 kilometres north of Auckland, New Zealand. A peaceful & idyllic location to spend at least half a day with the family. The hill seen in the distance is Rangitoto Island (Ma-ori for 'Bloody Sky'), which is a volcanic island in the Hauraki Gulf near Auckland. The 5.5 km wide island is an iconic and widely visible landmark of Auckland.
Located south of Perth and not far from the University of Western Australia, Matilda Bay is a perfect spot to relax in a tranquil setting under shady trees.
The reserve encompasses Pelican Point which is an important breeding sanctuary for migratory birds. It has stunning backdrop of the Swan River and views over the city of Perth. A great place for a family outing on a sunny day.
Taken at Hot Water Beach, New Zealand. It was a gloomy day & took me a few shots to get this one, where the splash can be seen.
The Pioneer or Caper White, (Belenois aurota), is a small to medium sized butterfly of the Family Pieridae, that is, the Yellows and Whites, which is found in South Asia and Africa. In Africa it is also known as the African Caper White or Brown-veined White, and is well-known during summer and autumn when large numbers migrate north-east over the interior.
The upperside of males is white with the forewing having the costa from base to base of vein 11 dusky black and then jet black continuing into a widened and curving short streak along the disco-cellulars to the lower apex of the cell; apical area diagonally with the termen black, the former with six elongate outwardly pointed spots of the ground-colour enclosed one in each of the interspaces 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9. Hind wing : uniform, the black along the venation on the underside seen through by transparency ; termen between veins 2 and 6 somewhat broadly black, with a series of four round spots of the ground-colour in the interspaces ; below vein 2 and above vein 6 the termen is very narrowly black. Underside : fore wing white, markings similar, more clearly defined, the white spots within the black apical area larger. Hind wing : yellowish white, all the reins very broadly bordered with black ; interspaces 1, 2, 6 and 7 with cross-bars of black, beyond which there is a subterminal, somewhat broad, transverse band of black between veins 2 and 6. Cilia of both fore and hind wings white alternated with black. The ground-colour on both upper and under sides variable, often cream-coloured above ; beneath : in some specimens, the base of cell and the elongate spots in apical area of fore wing, and the whole surface of the hind wing varies to rich chrome-yellow
