Ashy Clubtail

Ashy Clubtail Gomphus lividus

With clubtails we move into the realms of the difficult as many share similar markings so care is needed to ID them. I hope I get the ones posted right and will happily listen to advice.

I photographed this at St-Lazare sandpits. According to the books its bounces along like a woodpecker in flight but presumably poses considerably less risk to trees.

They fly June-July-ish
