Four spot Chaser-skewered370 viewsI have not found out how this could have happened yet. Quite a few knowledgeable people have lloked at this image for me but we are still not certain. The rush it is spiked on is very soft stuff and I can be 99.9% certain that nobody would have done it where I found it, I very much doubt if another human had been there is years/ever!so no easy answer is to be found.

Four spot Chaser353 viewstaken on April 29th 2011 , this was the first day I had seen them out for this year, although after a long very warm spell it is no surprise they had emerged.
Azure Damselfly 351 viewsNo its not sticking its tongue out, its eating a smaller insect. I am not certain what sort it looks a bit like a small crane fly.
