Starting new thread with this tiny speedy critter (best viewed full screen) in real time, what moves this fast?
Be two snails racing up the wall next! Lol

All you need is to add a colour and pattern description, and you're at my level for fly ID's eg Black and red stripy fly thing or green and white spotted fly thing
Ok here it is in the sun
and in the shade

Not many can stoop that low Linda And you're quite correct, it IS a yellow browny thing lol

Oh PB I'm so disappointed in you. I thought you'd moved on a bit since yellowy hovery type thing.I think your membership of the Odonanta club may have to be reviewed. LOL
Nice photos, Linda. The dragonfly is a female Common Darter. The earlier one looks like a male Emerald Damselfly. They must be loving this hot weather but I can't last more than about 20 mins outside as it's well above 30 C and I would rapidly become a puddle.
PS I originally said Lepidoptera club which is of course butterflies and moths. The heat is getting to me LOL
