Summary
[edit]DescriptionGolden-ringed Dragonfly (Cordulegaster boltonii) - geograph.org.uk - 1148863.jpg |
English: Golden-ringed Dragonfly (Cordulegaster boltonii). This individual is a male; it lacks the long ovipositor (organ used for laying eggs) of the female, and the body shape of the female is slightly different – see: http://www.dragonflysoc.org.uk/cobol.html
The dragonfly is shown here resting on one of the stones of 880019. Each dragonfly has its own territory, near water, which it will patrol and defend from rivals (as well as hunting for prey). The path leading towards this cairn had a stream running alongside it in places; I was approached by some of these dragonflies on the way, and also witnessed the clash that occurs when two of the same species meet. This is brief but noisy; the dispute is soon settled, and they disengage, apparently unharmed. |
