I took this shot whilst fishing near Altnaharra in September. To judge the size of it, the bee it's eating was a whopper.

brilliant photo arthur,

Hi, Extremely good photograph. I think this is the Golden-Ringed Dragonfly, Cordulegaster Boltonii.
Bill

Obviously one bee too many

Cracking shot.Never seen one like that before

Yea i have never seen one like that before either but i have seen one that size but it was kind of dark brown,

Arthur Wellesley,

Nice shot, especially with the bee.

Here is a closeup of the head of one I took some time ago.



I think you are right in the identification.

Carried it in full, then carry it out empty.

Great photo Fishtales, the eyes almost look enameled

Thats mental that is. Its looks like a wasp/bee mixed with a dragonfly.

Nice phote mate aswell.
