二名法 Libellula depressaLinnaeus, 1758 基斑蜻(學名:Libellula depressa)是蜻蛉目蜻科蜻屬下的一種蜻蜓,主要分布於歐洲的英國南部及威爾士,其翅長約為7公分。基斑蜻每年約於五月至八月間最為活躍。 目录 1 棲息 2 生態行為 3 圖片 4 參考資料 5 外部連結 棲息 基斑蜻多棲息於平靜的湖邊及池塘邊,並會捕食各種細小的昆蟲,例如蚊、蠅等。基斑蜻腹部扁平寬闊,雌性腹部呈棕色,有兩條黃色斑帶;雄性基斑蜻的腹部則呈淺青色。由於雄性基斑蜻腹部呈青藍色,所以牠亦容易被誤認為粗灰蜻(Orthetrum cancellatum)。所有基斑蜻的四張翅膀都呈三角形,翅紋為深棕色。 生態行為 基斑蜻擁有高速的飛行能力,當基斑蜻要在水面上尋找獵物,或者雄性基斑蜻間要進行互相競爭,又或與其他蜻蜓發生衝突時,牠們均會作出快速的俯衝及猛攻。基斑蜻行動迅捷,屬於頗難接觸的蜻蛉品種,但牠們傾向於晴天時棲息於木林之間,因此只要在木林中加以追蹤,便能較易觀察到牠們的行為。 圖片 雄性基斑蜻 正在休息的基斑蜻 雌性基斑蜻 基斑蜻 參考資料 (英文)英國物種介紹:基斑蜻 (英文)Bioimage:基斑蜻
