Yesterday I saw a large flying  thing.  No camera no picture. 

It was about two and a half inches top to tail, had double wings like a dragonfly again 2 1/2 " span and body the colour of a wasp's and slightly stripy but it didn't appear to have a waist like wasps do.
It flew around hunting like a dragonfly does but wasn't aggressive at all.  My measurements may be slightly exaggerated in hindsight. Rolleyes

After a bit more research I think it was a broadbodied chaser. One of the more common varieties I think.

That was going to be my first guess. They’re fantastic.
One thing I really miss up here. we just don’t get the variety, like down south.
