Coenagrion hastulatum

The coenagrion hastulatum is quite common and can be seen at most small waters. The small and slender body makes this a damsel fly and not a dragon fly. The damsel fly keeps its wings tucked to the body when resting while the dragon fly keeps them spread at all times. For your information.

Tettigonia viridissima

Took a few steps towards my house to get a bit more to eat and almost stepped on this little creature. It's a tettigonia viridissima and I was bound to see one these days in late July as this is their time of the year. Let's call it Benjamin.

Sfinx ligustri

Passing my garden table I see something bright green on the underside. After a quick check in my book on such creatures I find it to be a sfinx ligusti. When growing up it will become a big beautiful butterfly, sucking nectar from flowers while hovering just like a humming bird.
