Dragonfly

Common Hawker Dragonfly feeding on a common nettle.

I love the way the dragonfly's colours are similar to the plant. Great camouflage and a beautiful photograph.

Wow, isn't he a beauty. I have never seen one that colour. He blends in so well with his surroundings. A huge fav.

@angiedanielle24 Thank you for your lovely comment Angie they also come in a very pale blue:)

[Peter]

Thank you for your wonderful comments and fav Babs they are appreciated, it was approximately 75mm or 3" in length and they can also be light blue, flit about like butterflies so a little challenging to photograph:)
