$From the dazzling flight of dragonflies to the diligent work of honeybees, insects and spiders play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance. These small creatures support pollination, pest control, and biodiversity, reminding us of the importance of sustainable practices to protect their habitats and ensure a thriving planet for all.\nLocation: Asola , New Delhi (India)$

$Identification:\nTot 57-66mm, Ab 39-49mm, Hw 37-42mm.\nIn flight often confused with the related and similar small A. mixta. Ranges less far north, but also migratory and may be invasive in good summers.\nMales are often observed when making low patrols over drying wetlands, showing their noticeable bright colors. The males vivid blue eyes and abdomen and largely green thorax sides are especially distinctive.\nHabitat: Prefers standing waters that dry up over the course of Summer, often overgrown with low rushes, bulrushes or reeds.\nFlight Season: On average, emerges earlier than A. mixta. Seen mainly from May to August, especially in the later months.\nDistribution: Seldom abundant, and only permanently present around the Mediterranean, but scarce in much of Iberia and North Africa. Hot summer weather may lead to influxes further north. Occurs east to Mongolia.\n\nThis Picture is made in a Fen area in Flevoland in half August 2022 by high Summer temperatures.$

$Dragonflies and damselflies are not just mesmerizing aerial acrobats; they play a crucial role in maintaining ecological sustainability. As natural predators, they help control mosquito and pest populations, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. Their presence also indicates clean water and healthy ecosystems, making them vital indicators of environmental health. Protecting their habitats supports biodiversity and promotes sustainable ecosystems.\nLocation: Noida, Uttar Pradesh (India)$
