Hi guys and gals, managed an hour or so out inbetween showers at the local park and came across this little... Well that's just it, this little what. At first I was a little bit, shall we say, jumpy, as I wasn't sure if it would fly off (you know the wing thing). Then I couldn't decide if it actually had any wings, finally I couldn't decide if it was just a shell and something had emerged from it before i turned up. Either way it was massive and I didn't manage to buck up enough courage up to get really close. Hope someone out there can help me identify it i'm intrigued.
Hope you are all having a good weekend, trust it to rain after an unbareable week at work in the baking heat. Still at least it is a little cooler, might actually manage to sleep

Could be a dragonfly before its fully transformed. Not sure really though.

Great capture of the case of the Dragonfly Nymph..Whilst its a Nymph it lives underwater for 2-3 years before emerging to the surface and wrestles itself from its case and becomes a dragonfly...I cant tell you which one this turned into but Dragons really are some impressive insects close up and even though your scared of wings they wont hurt you..They hunt insects and other Dragons and Damselflys in the air....Take a deep breath and watch them one day!!
All the Best
