LESSER EMPEROR DRAGONFLY - Lady's Island, Co. Wexford. August 2000

The summer of 2000 was a great year for dragonflies in Ireland and County Wexford in particular. There was the discovery of dragonflies that were never seen in Ireland previously such as Emperors and amazingly at the same time great rarities like this Lesser Emperor were also present in small numbers (sometimes seen with Emperors).

Below are stills from some video I took at the time - through a telescope.
