Common Darter Dragonfly (Sympetrum striolatum)



I've only had the pond a bit over a week, and this beauty has visited already. It enjoyed basking on the deck next to the pond, and spent ages skimming the water for prey. I let out an audible squeak of delight when i saw it. We've had the odd damselfly visitor before but never a dragonfly.
