There are many things in our environment that suddenly come to our eyes to cheer up or give joy to the mind. Beauty is something that can be seen in the natural environment and it is given to the creator. The beauty of each thing is created differently and among them the beauty of different types of insects is one of the beauties. Today I am sharing a flying insect that I found very beautiful and attractive to see. One of the names of the beautiful insect is Orthetrum melania. It is a very familiar insect to me and one of my favorite insects. Moreover, it is a common insect in our country. Since I liked it, I tried to take a few pictures with my own mobile phone by staying very close and the pictures I took are presented above.
A few days ago, I saw a very beautiful insect sitting on a dry branch of a tree under a banana tree in my village house during the day. I observed this insect closely and saw that it has thin wings on both sides of its body and with the help of these wings it can fly in the sky and go from one place to another. Moreover, if you look closely, you can see that its body has different colors which make the insect look very beautiful and wonderful. I am sharing some of the pictures that I have taken with the Hive community friends. Thank you to all the friends.
