Overview
Anax immaculifrons, the magnificent emperor, or blue darner, is a species of dragonfly in the family Aeshnidae. Almost all its range is in West and South Asia; it is Europe's largest dragonfly but very marginal in the continent, where it is restricted to the east Aegean Islands and Cyprus. A similar dragonfly further east in Asia is now recognised as a separate species, A. aurantiacus.
