I've seen four dragon/damselflies* in two days in Dublin, yesterday and today! 😀


/

Does anyone know, has it been an especially good year for them here, or something?

[* They we're all large, so possibly dragon flies, but were flying past each time, so I couldn't really tell for sure.]

A Mangrove Marshal (Pornothemis starrei) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore, on 3 Sept 2023. Nice to be able to spot this rare dragonfly.

The IUCN Red List Conservation Status says it is near threatened (NT). Its larva breed in very saline conditions, which is unusual for dragonflies.

I never get tired of taking shots of the Common Flashwing (Vestalis amethystina), spotted at Dairy Farm Nature Park, Singapore, on 1 Sept 2023. A flash brings out the purple highlights on its wings.

The Flashwings are among the largest damselflies to be found locally: larger than some small dragonflies.

Amazing to chance upon 1st dragonfly visiting to new 2023 pond. Yes, I carry my camera (with monopod attached) and coffee cup each break time.

Still on vacation hence little activity here — but after a change of location & accommodation with better internet connection so I can at least share a pair of pics from southern Germany with you:

1. Mating damselflies (Platycnemis pennipes)
2. Green shield bug nymph (Palomena prasina)

Did I mention there was a Lesser Emperor at on Friday? Showing very nicely right in front of the cafe. I recommend the lemon drizzle cake.

Time for a photo. This is Brown Hawker which had been laying eggs and had just taken off. The first time I've managed to get a photo of this species in flight. At on Friday while I waited for the Lesser Emperor to show.

A Powdered Dancer (Argia moesta) damselfly. I've found it on the sandy beach of Lake Huron.
