Description
This big one I met while walking upwards into our backyard, and, gosh, he remained seated.
All my garden tools that I had in my hand, I promptly dropped, and,.... I had him. (or her?).
It was on an overblown Phlox, in the background you can see a blooming one.
This is from Wiki: The common hawker,[2] moorland hawker[1] or sedge darner[1] (Aeshna juncea) is one of the larger species of hawker dragonflies. It is native to Palearctic (from Ireland to Japan) and northern North America. The flight period is from June to early October.
Thanks to Juliette Gribnau I found the right name.
And now shop, shop into my waiting bed.
See you, dear friends, and thank you all very much.
