Description
This is a virtual safari-cache.
It is not bound to a single place but can be found all over the world. The listing-coords are just an example.
Other caches with the "safari-attribut" are listed here.
Safari-caches and their responding logs are shown on the safari-cache-map.
This cache and the logs are shown here.
No cache is worth to risc your health!
Of the 5680 known dragonfly species, we only can spot about 85 in Central Europe. These insects already lived at the time of the dinosaurs. That proves fossil-founds dated back to the Pennsylvanian (about 323 million years ago). A species of that time "Meganeuropsis permiana" had a wingspan of 72 cm!
Nowadays dragonflies use to have a wingspan between 2 and 11 cm. Their unique flying machine enables them to move their two wing pairs independently – up to a maximum speed of 50 km/h! Too, their wing-uniqueness allows them to make abrupt changes of direction, stay in the air or even fly backwards (according to this principle, today's quadcopters were "invented").
Dragonflies are predators that catch their prey in flight. Some males are even cannibals. They can usually be found near still waters or swamps, because their larves grow up in water as their habitat.
In ancient Germanic-mythology these glittering flying artists were known as sacred of the goddess Freya (or the Vikings: Frigg). But Christian missionaries wanted to erase such ancient, pagan symbols and spread the myth that dragonflies were "deadly eye-piercers". Contrary to that widespread misconception, dragonflies are non-toxic and can’t sting! The "long tail" is not a sting, but part of their uhhh... mating organ
and is essential to the flight stability!In Danish dragonflies are called "guldsmed", what is translated to "goldsmith" and refers to our mythological bands to those beauties...
In Japan the dragonfly is the symbol of the Emperors power, because the legend says that the island(s) has been shaped like a drinking dragonfly.
Safari task & logging condition:
• Find an image, a sculpture or a fossil of a dragonfly.
• Take a photographic picture of it and personalize this by holding someting unique into the camera.
• Upload the picture and name the coords of the place where it was taken.
As it is common sense: one cacher => one log => one place. Thank you!
Please input the coords, as claimed in the log-condition in the format "N/S DD MM.MMM E/W DDD MM.MMM" (e.g. "N 48 00.000 E 008 00.000") into the log. So they can be shown on the safari-cache-map!
This cache and its logs are mentioned here.

Auf einer kleinen Feierabend-Fahrradrunde musste ich heute wegen der Libelle unverhofft eine Vollbremsung einlegen.
Huch, da ist ja eine. Die Freude war groß.

Übers Wochenende habe ich mir einige Safaris herausgeschrieben. Erstaunlich, wie viele davon ich aus bestehenden Fotos und in nächster Nähe lösen konnte. Heute habe ich dann einige nahegelegene Orte besucht.
Diese Libelle ist nicht weit weg auf dem Abendspaziergang, aber ziemlich massiv.

Da ich in letzter Zeit einige OC-Caches vergeblich gesucht habe und die Wartung zum Teil sehr lange dauert, widme ich mich jetzt lieber den Safari-Caches, allerdings meist andersrum: Ich finde Motive und suche die passenden Safaris dazu :-)
Das Bild für den Safari-Cache ** Libelle SVC ** habe ich hier gefunden:
Koords: N47° 54.668 E11° 06.501
Die Libellen habe ich an einem Kindergarten in Raisting entdeckt. Ich vermute mal, dass hier die Kinder oder Betreuerinnen selbst Hand angelegt haben.
