User's notes

When I saw this one fly with a flash of blue and grey I knew what it was, I just had to chase it down for a photo. It did some amazing things on this this grass; shifted the back end up and flicked the wings back and forth individually making the orange/black bit look like a separate insect sitting there. It was quite mesmerising.
