Ventral view of A. bruennichi.



Another specimen without ¡I, II, III, IV legs on the right, and I or II on the left! Usually the females fight for a good place, and there's allways a looser...



A little blueish dragonfly, Sympecma sp.



The fruits of a wild rose.

Between the reed, a big web (she is in the middle).



Going to the left from the one over there, there was this great "community", there where you could find one, there were at least another 5 or 6...



Caught! Getting fun on the river.
