| Genus Ischnura | 26 Jan, 2025 | North Aceh District, Aceh province, Indonesia |
Dear friends wherever you are, How are you #NatureObserver lovers?.
Friends all, about insects may be very much around us, so today I will share again about one of the insects that may be very familiar in our lives, namely dragonflies. Dragonflies are many types, besides having large wings than their bodies and beautiful body shapes, they are also very tame from our lives, but when we want to touch them they will always fly wildly unlike what we imagine.
The dragonfly I am sharing this time is a little different, it is small and we often call it around our area by the name of needle dragonfly. The call is because this dragonfly has a very thin body size like a needle. After learning more, it turns out that the Latin name of this dragonfly is Genus Ischnura.
I had a little trouble taking some pictures of this dragonfly because he flew away when I approached as if he was avoiding me but flew not far at most 1 meter from my presence and I tried to quietly take his picture again until I got some photos like below. All of these photos I took using my Redmi Note 9 Pro cellphone camera and using an apexel type macro lens. Here are some pictures without me editing at all.
