Slender skimmer is one of the dragonflies that has a medium body size that comes from the libellulidae family. In Latin, this dragonfly is known as Orthetrum sabina. This dragonfly is also one of the dragonflies that has a unique color characteristic, green and black. The base color of its body is green decorated with black lines with character. The pattern is very distinctive, similar to the color of an army helicopter.
I found this beautiful dragonfly landing on one of the leaves of the canna lily plant. She was standing gracefully and calmly at the tip of the leaf. Her slender body and thin legs added beauty to the dragonfly. Her transparent wings were perfectly stretched, the position of the dragonfly was very similar to a helicopter landing at the airport.
She continued to remain silent without moving at all. To approach her, you still have to be alert. She doesn't have to turn her neck to see what's happening around her. Her compound eyes are able to monitor the entire world without having to move first.
