Every month we have a photograph on special offer. For July 2010 we've selected the photo below (PhotoID: Dr1361). Please click on it to display a larger version (1050 x 700 pixels).
The dragonfly in the photograph is a male Splendid Cruiser (Macromia splendens), one of Europe's most impressive species, which we photographed during a recent field trip to the South of Spain. It was the third year in a row that we tried to photograph the species. So this was a classic case of "third time lucky". Male Macromia splendens are known to be tireless fliers that rest very, very seldom and then usually in the safety of a tree top. In eight days' worth of waiting we saw one male at rest, and this is him.
