Un breve encuentro con esta especie en los bordes del río, cuyas aguas corrían rápidas a la sombra de los árboles y que hacían mecer a las plantas de las orillas en que se posaban los escasos machos de Calopteryx virgo. Complicado fue sacarle alguna toma medio decente, pero se disfrutó de sus verdosos y azulados tonos metálicos.

Calopteryx virgo, ♂
A brief encounter with this species on the edges of the river, whose waters ran fast in the shade of the trees and made the plants of the banks on which the few Calopteryx virgo males settled. Complicated was to take a decent half shot, but he enjoyed his green and blue metallic tones.

The beautiful demoiselle (Calopteryx virgo) is a European damselfly belonging to the family Calopterygidae. It is often found along fast-flowing waters where it is most at home...The distribution of the beautiful demoiselle covers all of Europe with the exception of the southwestern Iberian Peninsula, the Balearic Islands and Iceland.
Calopteryx virgo, le caloptéryx vierge (anciennement l'agrion vierge) est une espèce d'insectes odonates du sous-ordre des zygoptères ou demoiselles, qui fait partie d'une famille qui ne comprend, en Europe, qu'un seul genre, Calopteryx1.
the astrological sign of virgo is an earth sign and symbolized by "the virgin goddess of justice" in
greek mythology.
virgos tend to be perfectionists but are also known for being practical, shy, cautious and calm.. on the negative side they can be very critical and judgmental.
ooops! i let the dates slip by and forgot to do my virgo astrological image in the actual correct time frame..my aplogies to my virgo friends!!! happy belated b-day! :)
for my friend craig.. happy belated b-day !!!
ps- unfortunately i finished this image before doing more research on virgo and discovered that she should be holding wheat.. oh well.. i did find images of her holding a shield and sword.. so i'm sticking with the greek explanation i guess :)
special thanks to joessistah for the wings
