Found in the shed ... 😳

It's far too big to be a dragonfly and has a massive barbed tail

They have those in Greece. Is it a hornet?

It is a dragonfly. How big is it?

sueelleker · 07/08/2022 09:52

Flying ant?

AnchorWHAT · 07/08/2022 09:54

Dragonfly, they can be very big

It's a dragonfly, they can be quite big. Maybe what you thought were dragonflies were actually damselflies (smaller)

That’s definitely a dragonfly. There are loads of different species of dragonfly, some are quite little and some are very big.

Looking at the size of the stitches on the fabric there, this isn’t a very big dragonfly. Some people call craneflies (daddy long legs) dragonflies, is that what you were thinking of?

I can't see the head properly. I think from that angle it looks like a cranefly.

Is the barbed tail actually the ovipositor? I think you have a girl dragonfly alien monster.
