Alphabet Wednesday - Some Spindles

I'd never heard the term Spindles for Dragonflies until I came across this book from 1813 -



I rather like the name  Spindles so I thought I'd use it for my Alphabet Wednesday post.  Since my name is Scriptor Senex I guess I could really post what I liked for today!

And Dragonflies are (or have been) also known in various British dialects as - Silver-pins; Snake-arrows; Spinners; Spinning Jennies; and Stinging Adders.



Broad-bodied Chaser


Golden-ringed Dragonfly


Keeled Skimmer


Southern Hawker
