COMMON DARTER (Sympetrum striolatum)
INTERESTING FACTS.....
Dragonflies belong to the Order Odonata which means "toothed jaws".
Their names give a clue to their identity: Hawkers cruise at eye level ; Darters dash from place to place ; and Skimmers fly low over the water.
HABITAT & FOOD NEEDS.....
The commonest species breed on ordinary farm and garden ponds.
Fast flowing streams and rivers are shunned by most dragonflies.
Bogs and wet heath land support the most diverse species of dragonfly.
Adult dragonflies feed on flying insects especially small flies, midges and mosquitoes.
Dragonfly larvae feed on moving prey such as water fleas, snails, tadpoles and small fish. |

Hi Sochirca,
nice picture with good detials and colours.
The DOF is a bir shallow, the body is in focus but the wings
are slightly soft.
Well done.
