The Color Of Libellula Forensis


Day 285: Libellula forensis (the Eight-Spotted Skimmer) is a master of camouflage and barely stands out against a background of blackberry vines. Trust me, I know. I found it very difficult to locate my chosen bug for a zoom, and even more difficult to set the selective color for the pale blue of its body. But oh, what a lovely dusky azure this dragonfly exhibits! Without the distraction of other colors, one can fully appreciate the delicate hue.
