The Alpine Mosaic Damsel (Aeshna caerulea), a shimmering blue dragonfly, is being described as also living in Lapland, hunting over bogs and small ponds and occasionally resting on stalks and tree trunks near observers. Photographers report waiting for the insect to pause briefly before capturing images. The species is normally associated with alpine regions, making its presence in far northern Finland notable.
Why now: The insect's unexpected presence in Lapland and striking appearance are drawing interest from nature photographers and wildlife enthusiasts.
