Libelloides sibiricus - Owlfly

Image of Libelloides sibiricus sibiricus (Eversmann 1850)

Description:

Siberian Owlfly resting on a twig near mt. Lukovka, in the Altai mountains.I'm not sure about the ID because the few images of the species I've managed to find so far show specimens with yellow tinge on wings.This large and impressive insect about 5 cm long. It is an agile predator who catches its prey in flight.
