Steampunk insect: Aeshna juncea

Fantastic drawing of dragonfly Aeshna juncea in steampunk style by Maria Skorodumova. She used liner on cofee-toned paper. Aeshna juncea (The common hawker, moorland hawker or sedge darner) is one of the larger species of hawker dragonflies. It is native to Palearctic (from Ireland to Japan) and northern North America. The flight period is from June to early October.

Very nice Russian stamps:

Thank you very much Vlada!
