EDITORS COMMENTS
Dragonfly Drama: A Southern Hawker's Secret Mission in Oxfordshire!". In this snapshot, we witness the enchanting world of a Southern Hawker dragonfly. With her vibrant blue hues and delicate wings shimmering in the sunlight, she gracefully hovers above a Bogbean stem, ready to embark on an important mission. It's egg-laying time for our adventurous female dragonfly! Like a skilled acrobat, she delicately positions herself on the slender stem of the Menyanthes trifoliata plant. With precision and finesse, she carefully deposits her precious cargo into the cool waters below. As autumn sets in across England, this daring insect takes advantage of nature's abundance. The fresh water provides an ideal nursery for her offspring to thrive. Amidst the tranquil surroundings of Oxfordshire, this remarkable creature showcases its resilience and adaptability. With each egg laid by our tenacious heroine, future generations are ensured – a testament to Mother Nature's intricate web of life. This magical moment captured by FLPA photographer Malcolm Schuyl reminds us that even in seemingly ordinary settings like bog beans and still waters lie extraordinary stories waiting to be discovered. So next time you stumble upon a serene pond or glimpse a fleeting dragonfly dance through the air, remember their hidden tales unfold beneath their gossamer wings – just like our Southern Hawker leaving her mark on Oxfordshire's natural tapestry.
