Summary

| Description |
English: Emerging Dragonfly (Orthetrum coerulescens) This Keeled Skimmer has spent at least 2 years as a larva in the muddy ditches here. It is now emerging from its last larval case as an adult for the last 2 months of its life where it will try to reproduce. The wings come out as tiny stubs that expand as fluid is pumped into the veins. They then open out and dry to become rigid. During this period they are very vulnerable to predation and damage as they can't easily move and the wings and body can be deformed before they are dry. |
