Thanks to my wife Pam she spotted this newly emerged dragonfly, quite frankly I would have missed it. The larva had crawled up a single grass stem to pupate and emerge, it had not occurred to me to look at something so flimsy. I tried multiple images to try to get a clear background, this was the best I could manage, the camera was about 2" above water level.
