Observation is of the red dragon fly
This robber Fly was seen in a very grassy area near a flowering plant. The fly was about 2cms in length and its wings were joined together when it rested on a blade of grass. Only distinct colours were red eyes and two small, symmetrical yellow markings on its back (not wings). It was very fast and cautious in nature. With any movement it would fly away.
Had the wrong lens on the camera for this one! Green skimmer?
