  1. A Bronze Flutterer (Rhyothemis obsolescens) spotted at MacRitchie Reservoir Park on 24 May 2026. An uncommon dragonfly with eye-catching bronze coloured wings. Caught this one with the sun giving off beautiful reflections from the wings too.

  5. Happy to finally see or phylogenetic comparative study on the macroevolution of steep metabolic allometry in the insect order Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) finally published in Ecology Letters!

  10. Stoked to see this journal cover of PNAS with one of my photos: a mating pair of Swamp Bluet (Africallagma glaucum) from Harold Porter Botanical Garden in the Western Cape Province of South Africa, photographed in 2011.

  11. One-quarter of freshwater fauna threatened with extinction

    "Prevalent threats include pollution, dams and water extraction, agriculture and invasive species, with overharvesting also driving extinctions."

  14. 2 photos of the mass Chaser roost at Ham Wall on Sunday. 16 Four-spotted Chasers in the first, and three Four-spots and a random Scarce Chaser in the second. They will only gather like this for a short while, so this spectacle is time-limited.

  15. Time for some more #Dragonfly action. Last weekend was a bit of a washout but earlier I got to my favourite #Wiltshire #WildlifeTrust nature reserve, #Ravensroost Wood. A Four-spotted Chaser, one of several fighting over possession of the meadow pond. #UKWildlife #invertebrates #photography #insects #odonata

  16. Time for some #dragonfly action. I saw a couple of mature male Black-tailed Skimmers last weekend but they refused to pose for a phot so this immature one without the blue colour will have to do. At the #Wiltshire #WildlifeTrust reserve #LowerMoorFarm. #ukwildlife #photography #insects #odonata

  17. Male Broad-bodied Chaser, Libellula depressa Canon 400D EF EF 75-300 4-5.6 f/10 1/160 iso 200 Prague, CZE June 5, 2008 (very rare use of a long lens, but found it awful)
