…not seen any Black Darter dragonflies at Twizell Woods. I
was there on the 29th and they were seen a couple of days before
that however, as I say, no luck for me. There were still loads of Common Darter
and a couple of Common and Southern Hawkers so some good photo opportunities
were still to be had but unfortunately, I don’t think there will be many more.
Common Hawker
It looks as though it is turning its head to get a better
look at me.
Southern Hawker
Female Southern Hawker egg laying.
Common Darter in tandem.
Three Common Darter two males and a female. I don’t think I have
seen this before.
Common Darter mating on the wing.
Common Darter mating on a tree.
It may look like this is the same pair however it is another
pair which landed in virtually the same spot as the previous ones.
Common Green Shieldbug. I haven’t seen many Shieldbug this
year.
Comma butterfly.
There were quite a few of these flies and wasps on this tree
presumably taking the sap.
Oak spangle gall (I think).
Oak apple gall.
