Monks Eleigh, Suffolk,

These photos show an immature
which I found on a tree above my garden pond and may well have
just emerged from there. Note the spot in the middle of the wing
which gives the species both its English and its scientific
names. The dragonfly emerges in late May and June and flies
through to mid August.
There is a page on this species at the British Dragonfly Society. |
