In the Dutch culture a ‘Libellle’ is a symbol for good luck!
I like your name too.Naaldekoker! Very descriptive!
Here we have black, blue, red and brown ones, I think there are green ones too. All iridescent and beautiful…and helpful against bad bugs! Like mosquitoes.
Now that you gave die Dutch name I remember that we called them “Libelle”too. I’m born Dutch and my parents were pure Hollands in everything they did and taught us. This dragonfly is huge, big as my hand. It’s the first time that I’ve seen them that big.
Dankie vir jou inspirasie. Ek sou hom graag met die beter kamera en lig wou afgeneem het. Bea het saam met my gekyk en ek wou nie te veel aan hom vat nie. hier is nogal gereeld van die groot naaldekokers.
Dis elke keer weer ‘n nuwe ervaring van die God geskape dinge. Daardie eind ronde goedjies op die stert is so perfek en delekaat en selfs vlerkies oë en bene.

I don’t think ours are that big, maybe a few inches…and some are only a couple of inches long.
Here is a link to my blog, where I showed some pics of some of the dragonflies we see here.

Volgens bygeloof simboliseer die naaldekoker verandering – dis nogal gepas vir jou, nie waar nie?

Interessante manier waarop jy die foto’s geneem het. Wys hoe mooi die naaldekoker selfs in dood is.
