Dragon Fly

Have we all had enough flowers for now? I'm going to take a break from flowers today and throw in an insect instead.
This is a dragon fly but really, I think, not the most attractive specimen of the species.

Beautifully photographed and I like the way different background colours show through the wings.

It's got gorgeous wings! Can't wait until we have some in the yard.

that's an amazing capture as you have such detail even with that wood grain texture in the background :)

I think this is a Common Whitetail
(Plathemis lydia)

[Angela]

Great detail and what an amazing insect

[Walks @ 7]

Such fine detail and texture. Fav.

Not the prettiest dragonfly but amazing shot. Wonderful detail.

He looks part of the wood!

Wonderful focus on this winged wonder, especially considering how rare it is to get these creatures to sit still long enough for a photo to be captured.
