Fourwings Commander of the Wild Empire Registered: September 2005 Location: Leicestershire Posts: 4,438	Fermyn woods, Northants, July 4th 2011. Still cannot believe that after years of looking I finally got images this species with its wings open. Must have just hit their peak emergence as we found a total of 6 perched very low today, 3 of which were basking with wings open.

Nice one Steve! As you say, not something you see that often.
