Sunday 8th July
An hour visit this morning accompanied by my 5 year old, Iris. She was keen to try out her new bins. Well of course she ended up finding something very interesting. A Four Spotted Chaser Dragonfly Nymph.

Four-spotted Chaser. Hawker larvae are more elongated ('cigar shaped').

Thanks Greg! I knew you'd know. I will change the caption.
I'm being really pedantic here, but when I said larvae I should have said nymphs. Plus larvae is plural (larva singular). So the pic is of a Four-spotted chaser nymph! G
Nice find by Iris, Steve. A naturalist in the making there.
