I was trying to shoot spiders last night and two of these guys couldn't resist my lights. I had to quit so they didn't run into the spider web. They calmed down as soon as the lights were off.

The Southern Hawker (Aeshna cyanea) has almost the size of an Emperor Dragonfly and is one of the most common dragonflies in Europe. The males are often seen patrolling along ponds or small rivers looking for females or prey. It is a very inquisitive species that will approach people, but there is no reason at all to be scared of them.
Die Blaugrüne Mosaikjungfer ist eine weit verbreitete Großlibelle. Die Männchen sieht man oft am Rande von Gewässern patroullieren auf der Suche nach Weibchen. Sie sind sehr "neugierig" und fliegen sehr nahe an einen heran, aber es gibt überhaupt keinen Grund, sich vor ihnen zu fürchten!
I'm unable to find the correct name for this dragonfly. It is quite a common one in the north of the Northern Territory, Australia. Maybe someone can help me!?
