The sup...Warren ,<br />Re. your unidentified Dragonfly .<br />The superior anal appendage , the last bit on the abdomen says female . Immature is ruled out by the amount of wing damage , she has been on the wing for some time . Green eyes and thorax rules out Migrant Hawker (brown thorax) and a bit early for this species .<br />No antehumeral stripes on thorax rules out Southern Hawker ( sorry Dean ) and Migrant Hawker again .<br />My money is on a matured female Emperor Dragonfly . I have looked for the diagnostic black dorsal stripe , but with the insect in the shade , it cannot be seen .<br />Did you notice the stripe ? or have you another shot that shows it ? As insects mature , they become drab and their markings much less obvious .<br />Well done with the butterflies , all you need now is a Ringlet .<br />Look in the shadier , damper areas , if there are any .Greeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18036202102998375825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272641239781020595.post-34467405008460259032010-07-08T18:42:52.984+01:002010-07-08T18:42:52.984+01:00Southern Hawker i think, Warren.
