Two hundred and fifty nine - a photo on Flickriver

Two hundred and fifty nine

Very pleased to have this beautiful lady dragon settle beside the lane I was walking down, allowing me to get very close.

---------------------------------------------

This is a medium sized dragonfly. The overall impression is dark, the male having a blackish abdomen with blue spots, brown thorax with relatively narrow yellow stripes, and blue eyes. Females are brown with yellow spots. Both sexes have a prominent yellow 'golf tee' triangle on abdominal segment 2.

From the 1980s onwards, however, the Migrant Hawker has become a widespread species and a familiar sight during its late summer flight period; owing to this late emergence it is still probably under recorded as most observers of Odonata are most active in the early to mid summer periods. The Migrant Hawker breeds in a variety of well vegetated aquatic habitats and is often also recorded well away from water.
