#wasp on thistle like flower - please identify the plant if you know it because I don't know. Looks like sea holly?

In the skimmers family of dragonflies - the largest #dragonfly family in the world.
They're similar to the 12 spotted #skimmer - which has additional black spots on both wing tips.

For the past few days, whenever the sun comes out hundreds of dragonflies fill the air. I've only managed to capture two species so far but I'm sure there are more.

TIL that earwigs can fly. Though they mostly don't bother flying, it's a little embarrassing as someone with two biology degrees not to have known this 😳
(HT @aegilops)
They have shimmering, foldable wings that they hide away under their stiff forewings, like beetles do. Their wing deployment reminds me of an unfurling solar sail.
