Migrant Hawker by night

This picture is the result of an experiment.

While making a late evening walk, I spotted this sleeping dragonfly in the light of a full moon. I additionally illuminated the insect with the help of a portable led light unit and shot it with long shutterspeed.

The Migrant Hawker is a common dragonfly in most parts of Europe, but nowhere numerous present.
It’s a migratory species and can be spotted until late autumn.

Location : nature reserve ‘Walenhoek’ at Niel (Belgium)

Dutch name : Paardenbijter
German name : Herbst-Mosaikjungfer
Latin name : Aeshna mixta
