Dragonfly ID Needed

Post by Catteraxe »

I know some who use the UKB forums are knowledgeable about dragonflies so here's one that has me puzzled. The picture was taken yesterday near Corfe Castle in Dorset. The nearest I can manage is an immature Scarce Chaser but I have little confidence in that ID. As usual, any assistance greatly appreciated.

My money's on an immature Keeled Skimmer :)

Hi Bugboy,

Thanks for the ID. What put me off the Keeled Skimmer was yellow markings down the body but an immature one would be on the money.

Cheers,

Kevin.
