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.

The lovely Four-Spotted Chaser - Libellula quadrimaculata – is a dragonfly wound widely throughout Europe, Asia and North America. It can be found from May through to late September on heathland as well as near ponds and lakes which have good vegetation and some open water. I spotted this one landing in some tall grass at Martin Mere Wetlands, it was good enough to rest there until I could get my shot. This Picture is fully © Copyrighted.
