Rare dragonfly in the Netherlands

Posted on May 25, 2014 by petrel41

This is a video about a large white-faced darter dragonfly in Weerribben nature reserve in the Netherlands.

This spring, researchers found out for the first time that this rare species reproduces in Castricum; in the water of the local ice rink (which only works as an ice rink when it freezes).

Texel island dragonflies: here.

  Yes, I hope they will be able to continue to survive at the ice rink 🙂
