Trafalgar Dragonfly Specimen

This is a specimen of a Tora-tonbo (Tiger dragonfly) collected this season.

This is a type of Ezo-dragonfly that appears in early spring. As its name Tora-fu (tiger stripes) suggests, it's a stylish dragonfly with easily recognizable tiger stripes. The female has a unique egg-laying method where she forms an egg mass at the tip of her abdomen and drops it onto the water surface.

* The compound eyes of the Ezo-dragonfly family are very difficult to preserve their color. In this specimen, as a new attempt, the internal organs behind the compound eyes have been processed and resin has been sealed.

* As this is a wild-caught specimen, there may be minor scuffs. Please examine the photos carefully before considering your purchase.
