A male black-tailed skimmer (Orthetrum cancellatum)
This is one of the largest #dragonflies here. This species prefers open, sun-exposed water surfaces and shore zones. The imagines like to sit on stony or sandy ground to sunbathe.

Male black-tailed skimmer.
Orthetrum cancellatum.
Seen at the edge of Lake Léman. It looked like it was eating something.
