Eine Großlibelle fliegt von rechts nach links; ihr schlanker Körper ist schwarz mit großen hellgrünen Flecken auf der Brust (Thorax) und kleinen hellgrünen und hellblauen Flecken auf dem Hinterleib (Abdomen); die großen, helmartigen Komplexaugen sind überwiegend hellblau mit unscharfen dunklen Flecken und eher grün unten; die großen Flügel sind unscharf in der Bewegung; im Hintergrund unscharf helle Wasserpflanzen über dunkler Wasseroberfläche

Die Blaugrüne Mosaikjungfer ist eine der größten Libellen in Deutschland: länger als 7 cm mit einer Spannweite von mehr als 11 cm. Sie fliegt oft in Gärten und Städten, mitunter sogar in Gebäude..

A male Southern Hawker clings to a quince tree leaf. He is a large dragonfly, and here he is shot in close-up, with only his head and thorax, his right-hand legs, and the tops of his wings in the frame. His face is yellow, with some dark markings that are unique to individual dragonflies. His eyes are bright blue in the centre, with brown along their forward edges, yellow below and behind, and green above. His thorax is brown, with two thick green-yellow stripes running down the front (colloquially known as "headlights", and unique to this species among UK dragonflies), and two running diagonally along each side. There are also a series of green-yellow markings on the top of his thorax, and around the insertions of his wings.

A female Southern Hawker hangs from a spent flower of a buddleja bush. She's a large dragonfly with a mosaic pattern of brown and apple green markings all over her body. Her face is yellow, and her eyes are yellow below and greeny-brown above, with a bright blue marking across the junction of the upper and lower zones. She's been shot in close-up, with only her head, legs, thorax, and the first section of her abdomen clearly visible, along with the bases of her wings, which are clear.
