Thank you, Telse. No offense taken... just clearing my point.

And friends, there's a longhorn beetle on my posts that needs an ID. Help, anybody?

Greetings nivedc.
I hope you are well on the other side of our little planet.
I really love...really love ... your capture of this unique Dragonfly.
You have a very special photo here.
I do not think anyone here was trying to offend you.
'We" or I am - just in 'aw' of this spectacular Capture.
I am fascinated by your photo.
I hear National Geographic calling you.
Your Photo of the Granite Ghost is truly amazing...
way to go....carry on..............

Warm greetings! Far from a scientist/expert, unlike most of you, I am at best a budding photographer, also with keen interest in the amazing flora and fauna around me. Sharing what I click is the main reason I joined Project Noah. If any of my uploads challenge/contradict well-studied and established theory or appear misleading, I will gladly remove the post. Also, I will now make sure I have a "story" (rightly pointed out by Martin) for uncommon pictures. This was shot at floor level in our small garden where its struggle caught my eye. Do let me know if this needs to be removed. Cheers!

That is bizarre nivedc. What story can you tell us about this photograph?
It may be a common dragonfly but that's an uncommon behavior.

Fantastic photo! Why is it carrying a rock? Is this some new tool use by dragonflies? Wouldn't that be cool.
