Broad-bodied Chaser
By Nic
I was helping my son mow my neighbour’s garden yesterday when something flew past me. My first thought was “that was a huge wasp” but I didn’t see it well. Then I saw movement and realised it was a dragonfly. I’m rather fond of dragonflies. This lovely creature let me take photos of her (I think it’s a female but it could be an immature male). She’s a broad-bodied chaser. I imagine that she hatched from our neighbour’s pond.
