A beautiful species that I only got a fleeting glimpse of last year while dragonfly hunting turned out to be the Nonsuch Palmer (Creteus cyrina cyrina). It is a little dark stunner but with bullet-like speed it landed right in front of me like a flash and then disappeared in the same fashion. I would have liked to have seen more of him but at least I have now seen it!
