See-through (Libellula quadrimaculata)

I'm not sure what species this is. Sorry. But I am fascinated by that see-through abdomen. Must be great for camouflage.

Update: Just googled "Dragonflies of Norway" and I think I've found it - Four-spotted Skimmer, Libellula quadrimaculata

It truly is amazing and you captured it with beautiful detail Ann.

Why don't you try the insect I D sub-forum to get a name.

Looks like a four spotted Skimmer and a beautiful capture it is. Three brilliant shots Ann, well done.
