Lovely shots- suspect it's a 4-spot broad bodied chaser

Lovely set of pics.

Sorry Brian, but there is no such thing as a "4-spot broad bodied chaser" lol - the above dragonfly is probably a Four-spotted chaser. The Broad-bodied chaser is something slightly different (and you cant mix the two names together :lol: :lol: )
