Her majesty the empress, ovipositioning. My pond, her empire

Female emperor dragonfly (Anax imperator), ovipositioning.

My son and I digged a pond in our garden to welcome this kind of guests.
The emperor dragonfly is a spectacular and powerful insect, difficult to approach, very quick and agile.
Here the female is laying eggs in my little pond.

Deze vrouwelijke grote keizerlibel kwam deze voormiddag eitjes droppen in onze vijver. Onze vijver wordt haar keizerrijk.

Congratulations with the great photo, the emperess (nr. 2) in your garden and with the new pond. With the digging... I have just been singing parts of the famous THRILLER song by Michael Jackson and there the voice of Vincent Price says "CAN YOU DIG IT?!", in that thriller poem... just before he launches that legendary Burst of Laughter....!!
Ik hoop dat ik dat goed begrijp, dat het in die context betekent "kan je erbij, kan je het slikken...?)
