Female southern hawker




7 August 2019

The female is paler, with pale green spots and brownish eyes. The black-and-blue hawkers are a tricky group of dragonflies to identify. The Southern Hawker can be recognised by its lime green, rather than blue, spots and the large pale patches on its thorax. (LINK)
