A Norfolk (or Green-eyed) Hawker flies over a water meadow. He is a medium-sized brown dragonfly, with two yellow diagonal stripes on the side of his thorax and pale green eyes. A female Norfolk (or Green-eyed) Hawker ovipositing into the floating aquatic plant water soldier (sometimes called water pineapple). She is a medium-sized brown dragonfly, with a yellow triangle mark at the base of her abdomen, and pale green eyes.

Green-eyed Hawker Aeshna isoceles, of the family Aeshnidae. Also known as the Norfolk Hawker.

I have to confess that I have a great love of odonata. I can't wait for next season.

A photo of a Green-eyed Hawker perched on Teasel. Females oviposit onto plants, and the eggs hatch in about 2 weeks. Larval development takes 2 years. A photo of a Green-eyed Hawker in flight. Flight shots are notoriously difficult, but sometimes they hover, allowing a chance. This particular shot was the only success - I deleted nine others!
