EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by FLPA Images, we witness the incredible transformation of a Southern Hawker dragonfly. The exuvia, or shedded nymphal skin, is left behind as evidence of its remarkable journey from water-dwelling nymph to majestic winged creature. Captured against the picturesque backdrop of Norfolk in July, this image showcases the beauty and diversity of British wildlife. The vibrant hues and intricate details of the exuvia remind us that even in empty shells lie stories waiting to be discovered. The East Anglian region has long been known for its rich biodiversity, with dragonflies being one of its most enchanting inhabitants. This particular species, Aeshna cyanea, commonly referred to as a Southern Hawker due to its swift flight and impressive hunting skills. As summer blankets the English countryside with warmth and life, these temperate creatures emerge from their aquatic homes to grace us with their presence. Their delicate wings shimmering under the sun's rays create an ethereal spectacle that never fails to captivate both young and old alike. So next time you find yourself exploring nature's wonders in Norfolk or anywhere else across Europe, keep your eyes peeled for these magnificent hawkers. And if you're lucky enough to stumble upon an exuvia like this one - take a moment to marvel at nature's great escape artist!
