It`s told this is a "most common european species". I think it`s most endangered and most beautiful as well. Really enjoyed photographing them.

Are you going to set outdoor population from the eggs ?

[Chinadog]

Yes, I will raise them inside then release them in the pond as late stage larvae. If I do that for two or three years I'm hoping they will come back to breed.

 

[juraj]

Sure they will. I did it in the past from from a single butch of 17 larvae
