Finally, A Dragon Posing for me!

Not much for composition when you're sitting on the side of a grey shed so I decided to crop it tight for the close-up effect on the mid-section.

Nice crop Rob....such an interesting insect.

WOW - Don't you just love it when they cooperate :)

Thanks for the comments. As for the cooperation, this one was in the same place hours later. Only has 5 legs. Don't know if this accounts for any of the inactivity??

[Linda]

Very good macro shot!

@grannysue
Thanks, Linda!

[Sheri]

Wonderful macro..never seen one with these colors!

@groovygirlrn
Will try to find out what kind it is. I don't know much about them. This one, however, is still where I left it yesterday. Other than having lost one leg I'm wondering if it has other injuries that aren't apparent. The wings certainly look to be in good condition. Thanks for taking the time to stop in.

Super clear capture!!

[bardejov]

Fantastic focus. You are probably right, pure thing must be injured. Amazing detail.

[Anoeska van Rijsbergen]

Wow! I like your composition and the amazing details!

@anoeska
Glad you liked the composition. I really wanted to come in close, but was reluctant to trunkate the wings.
