EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the intimate moment of mating between two Orthetrum brunneum dragonflies, also known as the Southern Skimmer or Blue-tailed Skimmer. The vibrant blue and black colors of the male dragonfly (on the left) contrast beautifully with the more subdued tones of the female (on the right). Their intricate wings, a marvel of nature, are spread wide as they clasp each other's bodies, forming a temporary bond. Taken by acclaimed photographer Fabrizio Daminelli, this image was captured using a Canon camera and a Tamron lens, showcasing the incredible detail and sharpness of macrophotography. The vertical composition of the photograph adds a sense of depth and drama, drawing the viewer's eye to the intricate details of these fascinating insects. Orthetrum brunneum is a species of skimmer dragonfly, belonging to the family Libellulidae, order Anisoptera, and the class Odonata. They are commonly found near bodies of water, such as ponds, lakes, and slow-moving rivers. Mating season for these dragonflies typically occurs during the summer months, making this photograph a beautiful representation of the natural world during its most vibrant and active time. As we take a closer look at this image, we are reminded of the delicate balance and intricacy of the natural world. The close-up perspective allows us to appreciate the intricate patterns and textures of the dragonflies' bodies, as well as the delicate interplay of light and shadow. This photograph is a testament to the power of photography to capture and preserve the beauty and wonder of the natural world.
