Fluidr / Four-spotted Chaser (Libellula quadrimaculata). by Bob Eade

A gorgeous Four-spotted Chaser found at Latterbarrow in Cumbria, during a light rain shower.

The light was actually very poor when photographing it, so I was quite surprised to get some decent results.

One of the best specimens of this species I have ever seen.
