While there still is some time until the odonata season kicks off in my area, this male C. mercuriale still fascinates me due to his throax pattern. It's known that members of this genus can resemble each other but I haven't seen anyone document C. mercuriale with an abdomen similar to that of C. hastulatum.
(Also apologies, Vernissage doesn't support status edits so I had to delete my last post due to poor alt text.)

Things are starting to look bleak for this year now that C. splendens' spot in Z II has been partially destroyed, as well. The entire vegetation on the bridge of the bike path has been removed & the soil in and around the stream has been left in a devastating state. The other side's already being destroyed every May but now people have begun to destroy the very spots they seek out when everything gets mowed down to the naked soil.

I drew another damselfly!
(I mainly draw on tan paper like this at the moment, but I just got a couple of new sketchpads, one with moss green paper and one with stormy blue paper. Excited to see what my drawings will turn out like on other colours!)
Notes for January 27-February 2
This was a lively week both AI-wise and otherwise–if you’ll pardon the pun.(...)

Day 19 of the 2024 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Small Red Damselfly is tiny and lives in wild, boggy heath areas. Since I love exploring such habitats, I am naturally very fond of this #damselfly. The closely-related Large Red is a common species in gardens - it is larger and its legs are black not pink. This one in the #NewForest in early July. #Hampshire #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #photography
Day 13 of the 2024 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Common Blue #damselfly is very common and the males are very blue. Females are much darker. In the right habitat, such as here at the #Wiltshire #WildlifeTrust #LowerMoorFarm reserve, this species will form swarms. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife
Day 10 of the 2024 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Red-eyed #Damselfly is a bit larger than most damsels. Usually seen sitting on floating vegetation on a pond or slow river but this one was more cooperative. #LowerMoorFarm #Wiltshire #WildlifeTrust reserve in May. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #photography
Day 3 of the 2024 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. Large Red #Damselfly is the first species to emerge each year in most of the UK. This mating pair was at #Ravensroost Meadows #Wiltshire #WildlifeTrust reserve, in early May. They usually first appear in April. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife
Today we went to the community workshop,
And painted the IBC container and foundations.
Had a bit of a catch up with the group,
Having not seen them for three weeks.
Came home to do yet more work outside the house,
Before going to do caretaking.
Then did work inside the house,
As in this toot:

Hosted #MakersHour,
That was fun.
But now tired out,
So off to bed.
