Banded Demoiselle (Calopteryx splendens, male) (9)

Banded Demoiselle (Calopteryx splendens, male) (9)

When one comes closer than 2 meters to banded demoiselles they usually fly off. Thus, one needs luck when trying to capture one in a macro photograph.

However, there are exceptional specimens which tolerate almost any approach with a camera. I could even move around the individual shown in today’s post and photograph it from different sites and angles.

Keep in mind: That only happens sometimes.
