EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a hairy hawker dragonfly, scientifically known as Brachytron pratense. Native to Britain, this remarkable insect derives its name from the fine white hairs that adorn its body. The photograph captures the dragonfly in a moment of tranquility, perched on a delicate stem amidst lush greenery. The hairy hawker dragonfly thrives in still ponds and canals, where it shares its habitat with elusive nymphs that lurk among water weeds. Belonging to the Aesnidae family, which boasts eight species with long and vibrant bodies, this particular dragonfly is one of nature's early risers. In fact, it often takes flight as early as April. As a predator and carnivore by nature, this British marvel possesses an inherent hunting prowess. Its predatory instincts are finely honed for capturing prey while resting gracefully on leaves or stems. This mesmerizing creature belongs to the vast world of invertebrates and falls under the classification of Insecta. Andy Harmer's expertly captured image not only highlights the intricate details of this hairy hawker but also offers us a glimpse into Britain's diverse wildlife. It serves as a reminder of our planet's awe-inspiring natural wonders and encourages us to appreciate these fascinating creatures that share our environment.
