The Emperor (Anax imperator) our largest dragonfly. I located this male just hanging around during a recent wander at Thursley Common.

White-legged Damsels.

I have previously posted images here of immature White-legged Damselflies (Platycnemis pennipes) and on my main blog that I discovered last month close to Flag Pond on my local woodland butterfly transect. 

Today I finally managed to find both the adult forms resting in the grassy area close to the muddy pond.

 An adult female (above) and the adult male (below).

Large Skipper.

Large Skipper (Ochlodes venata) captured using the 70-300mm lens plus 1.4x converter.

Silver-washed Fritillary.

Had just one brief opportunity yesterday morning to snap a male Silver-washed Fritillary (Argynnis paphia) before it recommenced its territorial sorties. FAB.
