Bug attack!

Some kind of Dragonfly I assume. It's about 4" long. The cats have spotted it, so if it wasn't endangered before it is now.

It's going up the vacuum in a minute.

Bug was successfully apprehended and deported outside.

Vacuum? It's harmless and beautiful, just let it outside.

But it had a pointy arse. I don't trust anything with a pointy arse.

We get a few round here, they are beautiful prehistoric creatures!

Its amazing watching thier aerial control. The direction changes and flying backwards is amazing. The ultimate drone!

There's a river about 150ft from me and strong winds yesterday, so it might have been blown my way. It's the first one I've seen, but the cats tend to keep my place bug free. Stalking a moth is pretty exciting for a couple of house cats.
