let's see them. i love them dragonflies.

You asked for 'em -- you got 'em.

Actually, I'll just give you a little assortment
as there are really quite a few:

Detail of Springtime Darner -- just had to post this as the markings are quite beautiful

Damselflies mating

Dot-tailed Whiteface - female

American Emerald

Common Baskettail

And here's one that you may or may not want to look at. The truth about dragonflies... that they eat each other, or in this case, a damselfly.

As you might guess, this is the time of year
when I'm spending a lot of time out photographing insects.
Things are just revving up and already
I'm shooting about 200 to 300 photos a day.
It's difficult to keep up with myself.
