We believe this is an Emperor Dragonfly. It's the first one we've seen. The rest are odds
and ends taken over the past week or so.

  13. Wow - I wonder why it took me so long to find this blog. Excellent content and quality photographs. Thank you for the comments on my blog. I have added your site to my bloglist.

    I am currently pondering whether to simply drop using a set theme for any blog update and rather (like yourselves) add numerous photographs. Decision time for me.

    I really enjoyed the post (previous) which included the stages of the ladybird. I definitely learnt something between yourselves and Joan (the bug lady).

    Great collection once again. The colour combination of the Azure damselfly is just incredible, almost robotic look.
