A couple of phone close-ups of the Common Darter dragonfly that visited me at the allotment last week 😍 #CommonDarter #Dragonfly #SympetrumStriolatum | #Allotments #AllotmentWildlife | #Kent #England
A Common Darter dragonfly (Sympetrum striolatum) resting on the lid of a plastic compost bin in the afternoon sunshine. See the wiki-link in comments for description 🤓 Another close-up of the dragonfly. It had moved position and its wings are now held lower.

I realised this morning that, due to a combination of inappropriate weather conditions and lack of leisure, I hadn't been up to Cleeve Prior...

A Common Darter obelisking, to reduce the area of his body that has direct sunlight falling on it and control his temperature.

A male Common Darter in obelisk pose on top of a post. He's a small red dragonfly with diagonal red and yellow panels along the sides of his thorax, red eyes, red wing spots, and cream stripes along his otherwise black legs. The obelisk pose involves a kind of handstand, with the head down and the abdomen pointing upwards at a very steep angle towards the sun. It allows the dragonfly to control its temperature by reducing the surface area of its body on which direct sunlight is falling.

The new week starts with this beautiful large darter.

Have a good start☕

We have one. Today is our first vacation day and we'll be lying under palm trees in an indoor swimming pool afterwards.

A male Common Darter perches at the end of a reed above a pond. He is a small red dragonfly with a brown face and red-brown eyes. His brown thorax has bright red markings at the insertions of his wings, and alternate diagonal yellow and red stripes (2 of each) along the sides. His wings are clear with dark red wing spots. In this image his head is tipped back, as he looks up at the sky to check for danger.
