Like many other classes of insect, Odonata are also very scarce locally. Once abundant in the garden, occurrences so far this season can be counted on one hand, the only photo taken was of this female Austrolestes leda, click all images to enlarge.
The Common Flatwing, Austroargiolestes icteromelas, used to be extremely numerous in Bellbird Corner Riverside Reserve, but a wander through with the camera resulted in just two photo opportunities, with these the only Odonata sighted.
