It's head is a mixture of blue, yellow, white and black segments with 2 large brown eyes, it's thorax is yellow and black striped. The blue and black segmented abdomen curls up and grasps the back of the head of the second dragonfly. The second dragonfly entirely coloured in yellow and black segments. It's abdomen curls beneath it and is attached to bottom of the first's abdomen

Today's #Photo , A #MigrantHawker #Dragonfly in flight, taken a few years ago at #Kenfig National Nature Reserve.

The Welsh name for a dragonfly is "gweision y neidr", which literally means "Servant of the snake"
