    Default Female Emperor Dragonfly - Anax imperator

    Capture this Lovely lady in the pond of the local park in Exmouth
    Waited for over an hour for her to make he mind up on which leaf she wanted to deposit her eggs
    In the first photo she settled for a short while to oviposit and then changed her mind (as women do) and settled on another leaf
    This is the UK's largest Dragonfly.
