BC gets quite a few dragonflies at this time of year, but as the male and female do not look the same, there are double that number of dragonflies you can see. Here are four that I happened upon in the last few days.
This seems to be a male Autumn Meadowhawk pausing on a perch while still hunting.
A male common white tail rests on the ground.
And a female variegated meadowhawk hunts from a bush.
A male blue-eyed darner hunts on the wing for flying bugs.
Love Dragonflies and Damselflies.
My favourite flying insect! They are amazing to watch and how they fly/hunt.

How I join Paul & Allan in enjoying Dragonflies & Damselflies (often beside Dirk, fishing in our canoe), and Alistair’s show’n’telling of varieties I’d not known!
I love watching the rather large Dragonflies from our window.
They are fast/can turn in a flash!
