Monster dragon fly in my garden

[Lil old me]

Just seen this beast on a chair in my garden! Didnt even care when i went and sat down next to it. Sorry for the poor quality pics, only had my phone to hand. I think its an emperor http://www.dragonflysoc.org.uk/animp.html but im not sure, they all look pretty similar.

No, but they can breathe fire, hence the name.

We used to have them during the longest parts of the summer down in Kent. Look really prehistoric they do.

Had two dragon flys bugging me on Saturday while i was painting my garage door. They literally did laps around me for about 30mins then disappeared. Was quite cool.

Place your partner's / sister's / mother's bare breast next to it to give us a better idea of scale.
