Orthétrum réticulé ( Orthetrum cancellatum ) Focus Distance - 2.51 m

             L'orthétrum réticulé mesure 50 mm de long, avec 70 à 80 mm d'envergure
 le corps assez large, rouge ou bleu avec, dans ce dernier cas, un aspect poudreux.  Les ailes sont translucides,  La face est jaune ou verdâtre,  le thorax brun sombre.
Le mâle a l'abdomen gris bleuté, recouvert d'une cire grisâtre, qui lui donne un aspect pruiné. La femelle a l'abdomen brun jaune, plus étroit que chez le mâle chez lequel il est aplati, et avec 2 lignes noires parallèles.
 
 Le mâle de l'orthétrum réticulé surveille son territoire qu'il parcourt d'un vol rapide, et se pose presque toujours sur des endroits dégagés : sur le sol nu, sur des pierres.

************************************************************************
The cross-linked orthetrum is 50 mm long, with a 70-80 mm span
 the body fairly broad, red or blue with, in the latter case, a powdery appearance. The wings are translucent, the face is yellow or greenish, the dark brown thorax.
The male has a gray-bluish abdomen, covered with a grayish wax, which gives it a pruine aspect. The female has yellow brown abdomen, narrower than the male in which it is flattened, and with 2 parallel black lines.
 
 The male of the reticulated orthetrum monitors his territory as he travels on a fast flight, and almost always places himself on clear places: on bare ground, on stones.
