Lovely Bruce! After photographing the larvae with Neil, it's nice to see one of the adults.

Thanks Dave - Yes when I first found out the id of this beautiful insect (Thank you Janet) I immediately thought of the amazing aquatic larvae photos posted by you and Neil a few months ago. For other WAB members here's a couple of examples of their work:
