TRITHEMIS ANNULATA

Trithemis annulata, the Violet Dropwing dragonfly, is a dragonfly native across Africa and parts of the Mediterranean and western Palearctic, with expansion into parts of Europe documented over recent decades. It inhabits warm ponds, lakes, reservoirs and slow-flowing freshwater. Mature males develop vivid violet-magenta coloration, while females and immature individuals are more yellow-brown. Adults often perch conspicuously, and males can be territorial around breeding waters, making colour and posture especially visible features of the species.

Presented as a refined naturalist plate, this art print captures its vivid purple body, red veins, and translucent wings in precise detail. A unique piece for nature enthusiasts, collectors of scientific illustration, and interiors seeking elegance with meaning.
