Somatochlora meridionalis
Ha, finally solved the mystery that surrounded this dragonfly for the past few days. I’ve netted it a few days ago but didn’t have my book nor my camera with me to identify it. So I tried to remember as many characters as possible so I could later look it up, and failed miserably. I could only pinpoint the genus by memory.
I’ve finally managed to net it and photograph it, so here it is. Somatochlora meridionalis from the family of Cordulegastridae.
And how do you know the species from the rest? All other characters aside, the yellow spot on the thorax is pretty characteristic of this one.
