Butterfly dragonfly with Oogahasu(ancient lotus)

According to Wikipedia,

The butterfly dragonfly is a kind of a dragonfly belonging to dragonfly family.

They are appeared from July to September.  The emergence begins in about the middle of June. It is distributed over the Korean Peninsula, China and it is distributed over Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu in Japan. It can be seen mainly in the ponds and marshes which are full of vegetation from flatlands to the hillsides. As they fly like a butterfly flutteringly, this Japanese name is on.

As well as Japan, a lot of closely related species exist.

This is second installment of a two-part of this topic of" Rhyothemis fuliginosa", Butterfly dragonfly.

I wanted to take some photo that a kingfisher perched on a lotus flower, and went to the park for several days.

But , it is already late at the time of the photo, as the time has passed.

I estimate that a receptacle is formed after the flowering of the lotus in sequence, and this is because the kingfisher came to stop to a stable receptacle, not to stop on a flower.

It is from 4:15 to 7:00 early in the morning in time that a kingfisher comes to this park and catches a small fish of the bait.

Because there was the day without the coming flying and found the Butterfly dragonfly which flew flutteringly, I would take this dragonfly for kill-time.
