Sky rocket

A common darter.

 

This is a very common dragonfly, breeding in waterways including ponds, ditches, rivers and lakes. As their name suggests, common darters dart forward suddenly from a hovering position to catch their insect prey. They then take their catch to a favoured perch to eat it.
