Dragonfly called "Libellula angelina" which is Scientific Name;

*Luckily we could find Rare Dragonfly*
I whimsically opened the home page of the Nature observation park, I luckily found that we could observe "鼈甲トンボ";  literal translation in Japanese can be "dragonfly with tortoiseshell design". My husband got SO exhibited as he found from his book that this one is endangered species. And prohibited to catch by the preservation law.  Naturally, Observation Center was closed and we could only walk outside.
All the pictures were taken by my husband.
This tiny dragonfly about 40mm is among the reed field. 
I was so surprised that he could find some and take pictures. 

Below is the different one called Libellula angelina found on a same day.


*His most recent work*
It was funny that he started making this one and proudly said;
"I made this one imaging this species."  ;-)
Far back of the reed field, there was this Thrush looking lonely;

  1. What a beautiful post, Miyako! Your husband is so creative. The one I love most is the imaginary one, the materials used are so shiny! But then the 4th from last capture with two pairs of wings is incredible - it looks like a dream, and not to forget the last one, so cute and sweet!
    Cannot thank you enough for bringing all this beauty to All Seasons each week - very much appreciated! Wishing you inspiration this new week, Jesh

  7. Miyako - how curious that your husband starting making the dragonfly model, and then you saw it in reality. Perhaps not a coincidence? So many parts of nature are making a comeback since all the humans have to stay inside! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
