Description
Deutsch: Ein frisch geschlüpftes Männchen der Glänzenden Smaragdlibelle (Somatochlora metallica) im Ahlenmoor, nördliches Niedersachsen.
Beachte die einheitlich hell gefärbten Komplexaugen und den Glanz der noch nicht ganz ausgehärteten Flügel, die auf ein frisch metamorphosiertes Individuum hinweisen. Reife Exemplare werden fast nur noch patrouillierend angetroffen.
English: A just hatched male of the Brilliant Emerald (Somatochlora metallica) in the Ahlenmoor, a peatland in northern Lower Saxony, Germany.
Consider the uniformly brightly colored compound eyes and the gloss of the not yet completely hardened wings, which refer to freshly hatched individuals. Ripe specimens are nearly only found patrolling.
Deutsch: Dank an Fice für Mithilfe bei der Bestimmung. English: Thanks to Fice for help with the identification.
