The common darter (Sympetrum striolatum) is a dragonfly of the family Libellulidae native to Eurasia. It is one of the most common dragonflies in Europe, occurring in a wide variety of water bodies, though with a preference for breeding in still water such as ponds and lakes. In the south of its range adults are on the wing all year round.

This is not intended to be a dry lexicon. Personal stories and sensitive articles form the framework for our pictures: „Seasons“
Maria experiences how the seasons change and with them the natural balance of her habitat. These changes are gradual and some might only recognise them when it is already too late.
