Eastern pondhawk (female)

Thanks Team Brinez!

Very nice close up !!

I crept up very slowly until my lens was just a few inches from her face - I have a special lens (a macro) that I can clip on my camera so I can take close ups but these guys usually fly away before I can get close enough. This time I was just lucky I guess!

Wow how did You get that close of a shot!?!?!?

Thanks for the correction Walter! That's what I thought too until I looked at the bugguide reference!
Thank you too nexttogone!

Nice job on the facials! Love the series.

Amazing close-up shots of the dragonfly's face, Karen! This individual is a female, based upon its green coloration and the terminal appendages at the end of its abdomen.

Thank you Fyn!

LOVE IT!

Thanks Nuwan!

great macro shots !!
