Slender Spreadwing

I just learned that Spreadwings are damselflies that perch with their wings held partly open. Could this one's abdomen be any longer?!? Seen today at Goose Lake Prairie State Park in Illinois.

Amazing capture. You'd wonder how they can hold themselves so rigid.

Great shot, Anne - he's so long compared to those wings. Your focus was fabulous to show those details. I don't think I've ever seen this kind of damselfly - will have to be watching.
