I guess not, this crane fly has got 9 segments...

I figured out that it can be Nephrotoma eucera. Do you agree?

Thanks Laura :)
I was delighted to capture the pollen grains on the crane fly's head..

Nice macro shot of those compound eyes!! This is actually a cranefly rather than a dragonfly, though it will be difficult to identify down to species level! Maybe check out this page, see what matches best :) http://iz.carnegiemnh.org/cranefly/tipul...
