Four-Spotted Chaser Libellula quadrimaculata have very distinctive tapering bodies unlike any other dragonfly. They can usually be found around still water bodies, including brackish moorland pools, rivers and upland lakes and lochs on emergent aquatic vegetation. Male four-spotted chasers are active insects and can be seen hawking over the water both hunting for other insects and marking out their territories.
