Video of Emperor dragonfly mobbed by azure damselfly

Essex, odonata, video, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeJuly 14, 2013Leave a comment

A couple of weeks ago I was watching a female emperor dragonfly ovipositing (egg laying) in a pond, when an azure damselfly started mobbing it. I took some video of it happening and 2 other instances and have put them together in the video below.

Dark green fritillary Argynnis aglaja at Crockford Stream

insect, New forestBy Neil-UKWildlifeJuly 14, 2013Leave a comment

As well as Dragonflies there were some nice butterflies at Crockford Stream in the the New Forest, including a first for me, a Dark green fritillary Argynnis aglaja. In the hot sun they were very active and didn’t perch for long, so I only managed a few grab shots.
