Explorando este tramo del río, me encuentro de nuevo con esta especie: Cordulegaster boltonii, que fotografié por primera vez, cuatro días atrás en el río Vinalopó. Macho que se prestó para esta cenital y con la alegría que conlleva fotografiar de nuevo a esta especie, fue en aquel rincón del río Lentegí.

Fue llegar a la zona que frecuentaba este macho de Orthetrum brunneum, coloqué este posadero, me vuelvo al sitio donde tenía la cámara sobre el trípode, y al girarme ya estaba allí. ¡Y que bien acompañado! Fue una muy grata sorpresa.

When I got to the area where this male of Orthetrum brunneum frequented, I placed this innkeeper, I went back to the place where I had the camera on the tripod, and when I turned around it was already there. And how well accompanied! It was a very pleasant surprise.

Aeshna isoceles is a small hawker dragonfly that is found in Europe, mostly around the Mediterranean, and the lowlands of North Africa. Its common name in English is green-eyed hawker. In Britain it is a rare and local species and is known as the Norfolk hawker. It has a brown colour with green eyes and clear wings and also a yellow triangular mark on the second abdominal segment which gave rise to its scientific name. It used to be in the genus Anaciaeschna as it has several differences from the other members of the genus Aeshna. Its specific name is often spelt isosceles.
A. isoceles is one of only two brown hawkers found in Europe, the other is A. grandis. Both have a brown thorax and abdomen but A. isoceles has green eyes and clear wings and a diagnostic yellow triangular mark on the second abdominal segment. The hindwings have an amber patch at their base. In contrast A. grandis has yellowish wings and blueish eyes. The green eye of A. isoceles stands out even in flight and in practice it is not difficult to tell these two dragonflies apart. In addition to the morphological differences A. isoceles is on the wing much earlier in the year than A. grandis.
