Okay, this qualifies as a macro.

Good capture Nikola!

I'll debate that, but not in the galleries.

Very attractive close-up, though!

Nice capture.

It's a Sympetrum species you've got here, but I can't really determine species. It's surely an old female, which in many SYmpetrum species tend to get very dark like this one.

Thanks Erland!

Some of common Sympetrum species in my country are: Sympetrum depressiusculum, Sympetrum flaveolum, Sympetrum fonscolembei, Sympetrum meridionale, Sympetrum pedemontanum, Sympetrum sanguineum, Sympetrum striolatum and Sympetrum vulgatum.
At first I did not pay attention on her. Looking from distance I thought it was a little robberfly.

Thanks to all for comments.
