Dragon hunting…

…at Kibblesworth on the 20th. Only one dragon but a few damsels it might still be a bit early “up north“. There were also loads of caterpillar around but not many Butterflies.

This Large Red damselfly seems to be struggling to release itself from its larva skin.

  1. Superb shots there Ron, especially like the Large Red with the exuvia attached, might be a ventriloquist with dummy. Haven't seen a damsel or dragon yet this year, hope to put that right this week. Cheers.
