Goldenring on Finger - _TNY_9307

Here's the first common goldenring (Cordulegaster boltonii) I've ever seen - and it became a close meeting!

 

It flew into my mother-in-law's greenhouse by mistake and couldn't find its way out so after a little bit of photographing - and quite a lot of thrashing around! - I could carry it out sitting in my hand.

 

This species is one of the three largest species in Sweden with a wingspan of up to 110 mm (4.3").
