I have a (presumably aquatic, or semi-aquatic) creature - forgive my
lack of knowing what else to call it - but it is behaving unlike
anything I have seen before in my 10 year old pond.
For the past 4-5 days approx it has been clinging just above the water
level to the blade of a pond iris; it does not appear to have moved at
all, other than occasionally to raise itself slightly up the blade to
keep its rear end off the water.
Its body is chunky, a pale beige colour overall and seems to have a
'hump' (?wing buds) on its back. I have wondered if it is some kind of
dragonfly, of which I have many every year, but I have never before
observed a creature like this staying the same position for so long and
would like to understand what it is and why it is doing this.
I can send photos to anyone interested in seeing it.
Hopefully, Eleanor Lindsay
