Today's wander around the garden and a couple of insects with colour in their name.
First a dragonfly named for the bright colour of the eyes and some markings although the photo doesn't capture the full brightness. The Australian Emerald Dragonfly Hemicordulia australiae is one of the larger dragonflies and spend most of the time in the air hunting prey.
The eye colour gets brighter as the dragonfly matures and also varys depending on the angle of the reflection of sunlight.
Second is the female Orange Palm Dart ( photos of the male posted previously)
Very different colouring compared to the male but an attractive combination.
