This gallery showcases some of the amazing Dragonflies and Damselflies that we have in the UK. It's a fantastic sight when you find dragonflies or damselflies either coupled together when mating or a female laying eggs on the water’s surface. Most of the images in this gallery have been taken in Essex or Suffolk, - in either garden ponds or along the River Stour or Colne.
