    Thank you.
    I was fooled by it. I thought it was rather small for a hawker then this morning I zoomed in on it and realized it to be a Hairy Dragon fly. I videoed it too

    Yes, a little experiment, you can do the same iin your profile with any of your youtube videos, then if you clear the field, it will revert to your standard one.

    Thank you.
    I just like these dragonflies but they can be confusing.
    That one had me fooled though
    I was aware that it was a little on the small side. Hawkers and emperors are really large and you can't miss them. I nearly missed this one
