Not easy to find it especially in resting position with closed wings like on the pic #1. It usually close its wings very soon after landing.

Guessing we have a female Palpares libelluloides here.

Full frame and hand held.

This has been a great series of dry grass images Nikola. Pic2 is an absolute stunner!

Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks Joan and Bruce.
I have the captures of smaller and younger ones. They are also attractive and will post them too.
