Imago

            Finalizada la emergencia, el imago realiza un vuelo llamado inagural con el fin de protegerse de posibles depredadores y de los agentes atmosfericos. Esta joven Orthetrum cancellatum presenta una coloración palida, verdosa, con las alas aún translucidas y brillos que parecen de material plastico. Los ojos todavia sin brillo, palidos y los ptrostigmas claros de momento, hasta que adquieran su coloracón oscura en la madurez. Una joya, con unas pocas horas de vida como odonato. 
After the emergence, the imago makes a flight called inagural in order to protect itself from possible predators and atmospheric agents. This young Orthetrum cancellatum has a pale, greenish coloration, with still translucent wings and shine that seems to be made of plastic material. The eyes are still dull, pale and the ptrostigmas light for the moment, until they acquire their dark coloration at maturity. A gem, with a few hours to live as an odonata.
