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. Taken by acclaimed Italian photographer Fabrizio Daminelli, this image showcases the intricate details of these beautiful insects in the Odonata order, specifically the Anisoptera suborder and the Libellulidae family. The male dragonfly, with its distinctive blue and black wings, hovers above the female, displaying his vibrant wings in a courtship display. The female, with her more subdued wings, remains still below, ready to receive the male's spermatophore. The delicate balance and harmony between the two creatures is on full display in this exquisite image. Taken with a Canon camera and a Tamron lens, this macro photograph offers a close-up view of the dragonflies' intricate body parts and wings. The vertical composition adds to the sense of depth and intimacy, drawing the viewer in to appreciate the intricacies of these fascinating creatures. The Orthetrum brunneum is a common dragonfly found in Europe, Asia, and North America. They are often found near bodies of water, such as ponds and lakes, where they hunt for their prey. This image not only highlights the beauty of these creatures but also raises awareness of the importance of preserving their habitats and the delicate balance of nature. Fabrizio Daminelli's masterful use of light, composition, and technique brings out the true essence of these dragonflies, making this an exceptional piece of wildlife photography that is sure to inspire awe and appreciation for the natural world.
