Common Darter

Andy M had a Common Darter dragonfly visit his garden this week, during which time it managed to get itself trapped in the house.  This presented Andy with a helpful photo opportunity before liberating it.

In discussion with Darren B, the characteristic features of this species are the red T-shaped pattern on the abdomen, and the pale yellow stripe just discernible on the legs.
