Nature in the Garden

You will find lots of photographs of insects in this section, the only section that insects are allowed to go into. Moosey has censored out all the artistic black spot and rust photographs, and rejected others (including the aphid series) as being of no gardening interest.

Looking at this close up of a dragon fly I can't see where it gets its name.
