   Ron also photographed the dragonfly below.  Not so easy to see the details, but Dr Rob Cannings writes:  My guess is a young male Sympetrum madidum<\/em><\/strong> (Red-veined Meadowhawk)<\/strong>. The thoracic stripes are strong, like those of madidum<\/em> and pallipes<\/em>, but there are no strong dark lateral triangular marks on the abdominal segments found in pallipes<\/em>. The stripes tend to disappear with age, leaving ventral spots. The reddish wing veins in all parts of the wing also suggest madidum<\/em>. Not an easy one.<\/p>\n
