Elusive Emerald - _TNY_7340
Out on the bog by lake Lilla Skogssjön in the Svartkällsskogens nature reserve I spoted several yellow-spotted emeralds (Somatochlora flavomaculata) patrolling their territories (and chasing each other away), but it turned out to be quite difficult to capture on with the camera.
After many fruitless attempts (and very wet feet) I fanally managed this one which is sharp and reasonably close, but the wonderfully metallic green eyes don't show. Maybe next time.
