......no mask required. He’s sitting on my finger!
This dragonfly was buzzing me while I watered in the greenhouse. I leave the door flap open during the day now to keep the heat more even inside. This little dude kept landing on the support cord, so I reached out and he climbed onto my finger. He did this no matter how many times he flew off and I reached for him. He’s a beautiful blue-purple colour and is the biggest dragonfly I’ve seen so far. I hope he hangs around.
The weight of this Silver Y moth bends the flowerhead down . This is a well known immigrant species that can sometimes be found in their thousands if the conditions are right. Flies both daytime and night
