A great angle on the first picture and the third picture has great detail and DOF. Looks like a "SPECIAL OPS" dragonfly , if you know what I mean

Thanks folks.

Selysiothemis nigra is one of smallest Croatian dragonflies with lenght of about 3 cm. In spite of its small lenght it is very agile and can fly very well on strong wind. Also one of the most young df species in Croatia. (In evolutionary sense). Very rare in Croatia as well as in whole Europe and Mediterranean.
