The Councilor for Culture of the City of Lorca, María Ángeles Mazuecos, presented this morning the exhibition 'Water ... Dragonflies', a sample composed of 40 photographs and starring, as the title says, dragonflies.

Mazuecos has detailed that "it is a photographic exhibition made by two great professionals such as Ricardo Menor and Teodoro Martínez and their interest in these insects whose first appearance on the earth's surface dates back 300 million years ago and their life is associated with water ".

The councilor explained that "Ricardo Menor and Teodoro Martínez, naturalist photographers who have forged their friendship through these animals, present us with a collection of odonates that have been photographed mainly in the Valencian Community, where they reside, and in the Region of Murcia. Both are part of the Odonatological Society of the Valencian Community, to which they contribute, in addition to their photographs, the knowledge acquired throughout their numerous field trips. "

"They are harmless, fascinating and captivating beings because of their graceful and beautiful silhouette; their ability to look for water; their great variety of colors; their acrobatic flight, fast and inspiring; their ability to control almost without help the populations of other insects; their ability to adapt to changes with an indescribable facility and to live to the fullest every moment of his adult stage, "said photographer Teodoro Martínez.

Mazuecos Moreno has invited "all Lorca and Lorca to enjoy a photographic exhibition that aims to publicize, disseminate and encourage the observation of these exciting insects that have often gone unnoticed, which surely will not leave anyone indifferent and that opens this afternoon at 7:30 p.m. and that we can visit until October 15 in the exhibition hall of the Cultural Center Mayor José María Campoy Camacho ".

For this next Friday, October 4, starting at 7 p.m., a talk about dragonflies is planned at the Cultural Center of Lorca in our municipality, where we find a protected species. "

In addition, the works contain a QR code with which through our smartphones we can obtain more information from the exposed photographs.
