Good finds BD. I found my first Laval Skin a few day ago with the dragonfly next to it. Posted back on page 23.
Very nice BD

Is on page 23 but good to look back as I hadn't realised it had actually just emerged!
I did look at that photo the other day ... I just didn't realise that the dragonfly had come out of that skin ...
This rove beetle Platydracus stercorarius shot past while I was washing the dog - hence iPhone photo of not brilliant quality - handsome looking beastie

The patern on, what looks like a mat, looks like more beetles ... . Well captured Cin, don't think I have seen one of those ...
Apparently they like fly larvae so they are very welcome pest controllers
Very interesting ...
