Thanks, Patty. Their wings are amazing; not only because they are intricately beautiful, but because, as I understand it, they can operate independently resulting in the dragonfly's incredible feats in flight.

Lovely picture and dragonfly; although its red is quite stunning it seems to be such a delicate minibeast...its wings are wonderful =)
