Some flying things from today

[Kev]

I went to a local woodland today and the pond they dug a couple of years ago, and which was pretty lifeless, now has broad-bodied chasers on it. Lovely. Haven't seen them before. And one female was swooping towards the bank and dipping her 'tail' in the water, presumably laying more eggs for the next generation.

I also spotted various other bits and bobs








I think this is a red and black froghopper


Not sure what this is


Hoverfly



Speckled Wood




Big diving beetle


And finally, not sure what this was but it was hanging in the air, waiting for a dragonfly to pick it up for supper!!

Superb as usual, Kev - it's as though you'd never left home

They mate in mid-air


Then the female dips her tail in the water to lay the eggs

Did the last one on my phone I have a 360 degree app. You just turn around and it takes the next pictures and sticks it to the previous one.

Amazing macro's as usual Kev, but that woodland one really appeals!!!

Stunning photos yet again Kev. The chasers mating was a good catch.
