Mother's terror after she found 8in 'Jurassic-sized' dragonfly flying round her living room

A mother was left terrified after she walked into her living room and spotted this monster 'Jurassic' sized dragonfly.

Rowena Wilkinson, 53, dashed indoors when she heard piercing screams coming from her daughter and her friend.

She found an enormous dark green dragonfly - measuring around 8inches long - flying around the room like a 'mini-helicopter'.

Mrs Wilkinson, from Weston Turville, near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, said: 'I heard them scream and when I ran in this dragonfly was spiralling round very quickly.

'It sounded like a mini helicopter it was that noisy, it was like a Jurassic monster.

'I didn’t know whether to take a photograph or run but I managed to get close enough to take a few pictures.
