petersketch, 5 months ago Day 15 of the 2023 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Broad-bodied Chaser is an easy species to spot in early summer - they're large, they like to sit in the open to sunbathe and males are bright blue. They're often the first species to find a new pond, if it's large enough for them. This one was in the #NewForest in June. #Hampshire #DragonflyAdventCalendar #wildlife #insects #wildlifephotography #invertebrates
