Brown hawker dragonfly
Brown hawker dragonfly. High-speed photograph of a brown hawker dragonfly, Aeshna grandis, in flight. This dragonfly is found on sheltered lowland lakes and fens. The males are territorial, defending large areas. The large compound eyes and the mobility of its head provide this insect with a wide field of vision. Adult dragonflies are excellent flyers and feed and reproduce on the wing. They are sometimes known as " skimmers" for their behaviour of skimming repeatedly across the water. In dragonflies, both pairs of wings beat in time and are held outstretched at rest, unlike the related damselflies

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty and agility of a Brown Hawker Dragonfly in flight. Aeshna grandis, as it is scientifically known, can be found gracefully hovering over sheltered lowland lakes and fens. The male dragonflies are fiercely territorial, diligently defending their expansive territories. With its large compound eyes and highly mobile head, this remarkable insect possesses an exceptional field of vision. Adult dragonflies are renowned for their superb flying skills, effortlessly maneuvering through the air while simultaneously feeding and reproducing on the wing. Their unique behavior of repeatedly skimming across water surfaces has earned them the nickname "skimmers". Unlike their damselfly relatives, both pairs of wings in dragonflies beat in perfect synchrony and remain outstretched when at rest. This high-speed photograph perfectly captures this magnificent creature frozen in time during one of its agile flights. The image highlights not only the intricate details of the brown hawker dragonfly but also provides a glimpse into its natural habitat within Britain's diverse wildlife ecosystem. It serves as a testament to nature's incredible diversity and reminds us of the awe-inspiring wonders that exist right outside our doors.
