There were half a dozen of these buzzing about the small wood I was in this morning. Broad-bodied Chasers I think.

Morning all

Yeah I would defn agree with Broad-bodied Chaser - looks like the 2 in the pics are females.   They are great to watch when they're watching other things, deciding if it's food or a threat.

 

Got a few that I am struggling with (so any help appreciated).  Here's one or two from yesterday and a couple of other pics.

And then some butterflies to follow (obviously!).

It seems that females and immature specimens are brown bodied.  All the ones I saw were brown so I'm guessing a fresh hatch of probably mixed sexes (using the assumption that 6 out of 6 won't all be the same sex).

I was in the garden with my daughter this morning when this landed on her hand. I have never seen anything quit like it before. Not much bigger than a mosquito and with fluff covering its body, anyone?

Woolly Alder Aphid perhaps.
