Four-spotted Chaser

Libellula quadrimaculata

The Four-spotted Chaser is a dragonfly that flies from May until September often found hawking for insect-prey around heathland, lakes, ponds and woods. It gets its name from the two dark spots at the front edge of each wing. Males and females are golden-brown, darkening towards the tip of the body. There are yellow spots along the sides. Debi photographed this at Fairlop Waters.
