A serious thunderstorm moved through today. Right before it arrived I realized I hadn't taken a picture yet for the day so went outside and was obliged by this dragon fly. I wonder where the bugs go when there is a downpour?

So cool! He's a big one too! Rarely see these where I live. Love the amazing detail you captured on his wings. My guess is they find shelter under a big leaf or something.
in the old country, we knew it was going to rain when the dragonflies wee in abundance, mostly during mid-afternoon. then they disappeared after the rain, and i guessed they must've all been drown during the heavy downpour or struck by lightning.
