Brown Hawker Aeshna
grandis |

Monks Eleigh, Suffolk,
England
July 2007
The Brown Hawker is distributed in lowland
England and Ireland as well as western and central Europe.
It is common and widespread. The flight season is from June to
October. |

The photos here show a female
ovipositing in my garden pond. It has amber-coloured wings and
yellow bars on the side of the thorax. The male has blue spots
along the side of the abdomen, bluish eyes and a
"waist".
They will mate in the tree tops then the male leaves the female
to go on her own to find a site for ovipositing.
