Green Darner stopped off at Green-Wood on its southbound migration. Like Monarchs, migration is multi-generational #dragonfly #nature #dragonflies #insect #naturephotography #dragonflyphotography #odonata

🦟 Blue Dasher - was able to position some sparkly water into the background for the satisfying bokeh. I love how the dashers perch with their wings forward.

It seems every other dragonfly is a Migrant Hawker at the moment #nature #odonata

A Migrant Hawker dragonfly caught mid-hover in the air. A pale face and blue eyes lead back into a black and blue marked body.

Here's a juvenile male common green darner dragonfly (Anax junius) that landed nearby when I was walking in the backyard. #dragonfly #dragonflies #Odonata #Illinois #nature #photography

Finding Balance #ShareMondays2026

I went to #ThursleyCommonNNR on Saturday to look for #BlackDarter #dragonflies. It was lovely to see the heather too 💜 @surreyhillsnl.bsky.social @britishdragonflies.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @naturalengland.bsky.social #wildlife #nature #odonata

The image captures a detailed, close-up photograph of a black darter dragonfly (Sympetrum danae). It’s positioned facing slightly toward the camera, showcasing its large, dark compound eyes and intricate body texture. The black darter is the only small dragonfly that is almost entirely black. Males are black with dark yellow spots along the sides, while females and juveniles are brownish-yellow. This is an overmature male, its thorax and abdomen appear a dark, dusty blackish-grey colour. Its four clear, membranous wings are spread wide horizontally. The complex, lace-like vein structure of the wings catches the soft light. Small, dark patches (pterostigmata) can be seen near the tips of the wings. It clings tightly with its thin, dark legs to the very end of a bare, slender stick that curves upward from the bottom centre of the frame. The background consists of a beautifully soft, completely blurred bokeh. It blends muted tones of earthy greens, soft oranges, purples, and browns, from a mix of plants in the natural heathland habitat of Thursley Common NNR, including heathers. Thursley renowned for dragonflies! The black darter is one of my favourites and this is the time of year to look for them. This is the UK’s smallest dragonfly and when they’re keeping still, perched on a twig or heather they’re really hard to spot without disturbing them!! Looking for them makes me completely slow down and take in every aspect of my surroundings, looking for the slightest hint of movement or the shimmer of light on an insect’s wing. That’s how I finally found this one. Much of Thursley is open lowland heath and boggy marshland. It’s internationally important habitat with some extraordinary flora and fauna. Although it’s tricky to access in the wheelchair, there’s a boardwalk that allows people to cross the marshes and ponds while protecting the habitat. It’s this type of habitat with damp moors, heath and bogs, where black darters are most likely to be found.

A closeup of the head of a common green darner dragonfly (Anax junius). I've always loved the marking that looks like an extra eye spot. #dragonfly #dragonflies #Odonata #Illinois #nature #macro #photography

There were so many Southern Hawkers at Wicken Fen! We saw hundreds across the weekend - always a favourite because they'll sit still for a photo! #nature #odonata

Detail of the head and large eyes of a Migrant Hawker dragonfly with some of the legs and thorax also in shot.

Sadly the best I could get of a lesser emperor at Bickershaw CP, Greater Manchester today, the third of the year here. Not a bad afternoon actually considering the torrential rain in the morning with 9 species of #odonata inc. willow emeralds #Dragonflies #BCPBirding also snipe flushed from pond.

Lesser emperor. Not a great photo but just about recognisable. Migrant hawker.
