とんぼをおいかけて・・ ～♪～

２年ぶりに再会しました、ヒヌマイトトンボ♪ 絶滅危惧Ｉ類です。観察会の日はあいにくの小雨でしたが、ちゃんと姿を見せてくれました。After a interval of two years, I again returned to see them, Mortonagrion hirosei Asahina, one of the critically endangered species. Though drizzling on the day of the walk, they did show up.


やっぱり小さい！　全長でも３センチほどですもんね、デジカメの自動フォーカスが捉えきれず、マニュアルで挑戦です。これは雄。Yes, it is really tiny! About 3 cm in full length. My camera's auto focus doesn't work so I tried with manual focus. This one is a male.


ん～・・、雌はボケ気味の写真しか撮れませんでしたが、かわいい色です。これはまだ成熟期を迎えていない個体です。Ummm..., I only managed to take a rather blurry photo of a female but it's colour is very pretty! This one is not quite mature yet.
