Surprisingly Camouflaged - _TNY_5543
While on the island of Gällnö in the Stockholm archipelago, I spotted a female black-tailed skimmer (Orthetrum cancellatum) which landed a couple of meters away from me on the ground.
Going full ninja I managed to sneak closer and closer and managed a couple of shots from quite a short distance before she thought I was getting to close and took off.
The male of this species has a matte blue abdomen ending in a black part which gives the species it's name.
