mtyburski 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2014 This is actually a Damselfly, related to the dragonfly! Entomology is an interesting science, because it involves the insects and terrestrials we use for this great sport! I have a Sony HDR-CX240 which takes great close-ups and may have gotten lucky with this shot. My experience with photography is in it's infancy! It was a sunny May afternoon, and the wind was blowing pretty hard. Glad to have gotten this photo! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking the same, damsels rest wings back, dragons rest wings out to the side. Still a very nice picture regardless! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
