Day 18 of the 2023 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. It looks very like the two common species with blue males, but Southern Damselfly is one of our rarest species. This one was in the #NewForest, a stronghold for them, in June. #Hampshire #DragonflyAdventCalendar #wildlife #insects #wildlifephotography #invertebrates
A long, thin, bright blue insect sits on a blade of grass. On the second segment of its abdomen is a black mark in a complicated shape, often described as looking like the traditional symbol for mercury. This shape would be less complex if it were one of the common species - a u shape for Azure Damselfly and a round blob for Common Blue.

Day 15 of the 2023 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Broad-bodied Chaser is an easy species to spot in early summer - they're large, they like to sit in the open to sunbathe and males are bright blue. They're often the first species to find a new pond, if it's large enough for them. This one was in the #NewForest in June. #Hampshire #DragonflyAdventCalendar #wildlife #insects #wildlifephotography #invertebrates
A large dragonfly perched on a stick. Its body is quite wide, the thorax being brown while the abdomen is bright blue. The parts of the wings nearest the body are dark-coloured.
