Magdalena<p>P. nymphula has made its earliest appearance so far, with late-April to early-May previously having been the time frame in which the first local odanata mark the peak of spring. Taking into account that temperatures are set to rise further and little rain being expected to reach my region towards the end of this week, we currently are set for a drought worse than 2018. And half of my local farmers are switching to wheat at the same time.<br><br><a href="https://vernissage.photos/tags/Odonata" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#Odonata</a> <a href="https://vernissage.photos/tags/Damselfly" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#Damselfly</a> <a href="https://vernissage.photos/tags/LargeRedDamselfly" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#LargeRedDamselfly</a> <a href="https://vernissage.photos/tags/Insect" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#Insect</a> <a href="https://vernissage.photos/tags/Nature" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="mention hashtag" target="_blank">#Nature</a></p>

Magdalena<p>[Archive – 29-06-2023]<br><br>While there still is some time until the odonata season kicks off in my area, this male C. mercuriale still fascinates me due to his throax pattern.
