      Thank you RMFelix. Dragonflies really are brilliant insects and a very interesting and challenging group to shoot. Posted 9 years ago

The Black darter

''Sympetrum danae'', the black darter or black meadowhawk is a dragonfly found in northern Europe, Asia, and North America. At about 30 mm long, it is Britain's smallest resident dragonfly. It is a very active late summer insect typical of heathland and moorland bog pools.
