Life cycle - 13-06

I'm guessing this is a deceased dragon/damsel type fly insect. It was suspended on a grass stem. I am disappointed I didn't get the wings in the focal depth as well.
Thanks for all the positive feedback and fav on my recent photographs. It is very much appreciated.
it's a mayfly. Either about to moult or just moulted I'd guess as it was so still. Once they emerge from the water, they have to moult again then they mate and die!
