Yup, I’m too lazy to check for speling. Anyway, some dragonflies. The reddish one is a common darter. The other one could be?

Small copper and Comma.

I've seen cabbage whites in my garden, and taken a couple of their caterpillars off my (netted) kale seedlings

(Edited for spelling cos I can't even spell caterpillars at this time in the morning)

My wild guess, if the same location, would be another common darter though an immature one? I saw one similar a couple of weeks ago and thought immature. https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-explorer/invertebrates/dragonflies/... .

Nice photos as usual.

A female Common Darter, I think. Only the males are red.

Time for another userid change - I reckon 'Brimestone Cowboy', especially if you start snapping interesting cattle!
