Genus Orthetrum	October 7, 2026	Central Aceh Regency,Aceh, Indonesia

I feel very happy because I managed to capture the beauty of a soldier dragonfly that was resting on a mango leaf in front of my house. This particular dragonfly is relatively large in size, so its presence is quite easy to notice, and what makes it unique is its colors and natural patterns on its body.

This dragonfly also moves very quickly and has a high level of sensitivity, making it quite difficult to approach. I even had to try several times before I could photograph it. The good news is that the population of this dragonfly is relatively stable in my area, so we can easily find it, even right in front of our houses.Personally, I am quite happy with the presence of dragonflies because they are not pests for plants. On the contrary, they are good friends to farmers because they can prey on various types of pests and small beetles that can damage plants.When I found this particular dragonfly, I tried to photograph it using a macro lens, but I failed because it was very difficult to do. So, so that this opportunity would not be lost, I decided to photograph it using my phone camera instead.

Okay everyone, now I will share some pictures of this soldier dragonfly here.
