Description

I am so pleased to get this shot of a Female Emperor Dragonfly laying eggs on a submerged leaf :)..

Anax imperator is Britain's bulkiest Dragonfly. Its bright colours and active habit make it very obvious when hunting over medium to large water bodies. It rarely settles, even eating its prey in flight. Both sexes have a bright, apple-green thorax and green or blue eyes

Re-edit of original shot.
