Through The Grass

27 Mar 2025 5
I spotted this Four Spotted Chaser - Libellula quadrimaculata – (or Four Spotted Skimmer as it is known in North America) as it flew into a patch of tall grass, this is my first shot of it as I crept forward trying not to disturb it. They can be found from May to September in many locations such as heathland, in wooded areas but mainly where ponds or lakes are nearby where they feed on midges, gnats and mosquitoes. It is the state insect of Alaska. This Picture is fully © Copyrighted.
