Emerging Common Darter dragonfly amongst grasses at the edge of the pond
The latest event on the pond is that Common Darter Dragonflies have been emerging.

People often say that you need emergent plants for dragonflies to emerge on.
The picture shows that this isn’t always true, especially for those species that come to new ponds, like the Common Darter, and can happily emerge on quite low growing grasses.
