I found this pile of dragonfly wings hidden away at the edge of the reedbed on the balancing pond last week. Something has been tucking into our Odonata fauna - but what was it? We don't know for sure, so post your guesses in the comments box below....

  • Any guesses on this one? My first thought was hobby, as it is the only species I know that regularly feeds on dragonflies. However....hobbys usually feed on the wing, discarding the wings as they go and not on the ground as is suggested by this pile of wings, which has obviously come from several different insects.

    Does anyone know any different?

    The mystery continues....
