| | | Dragonfly ID Please
Hello,
Can someone tell me what type of dragonfly this is please? I am a bit stumped as it had a short fat tail making it look more like a Libellulidae but doesn't look like any I can see on the British Dragonfly Society's website. I have another shot of it front-on which is rather blurred but shows it has a green and white/cream face.
Thank you!

Hi Pippa
I would say it was an older male Black-tailed Skimmer,where the black and yellow side markings have turned blue.

If Jason intended to say that this was an older female Black-tailed Skimmer, then I agree with him as well.  |
