Description

While standing around looking for stuff to shoot this dragonfly hovered in front of me just long enough for me to get this shot. Having my 100-400mm lense on I had to step back to minimum distance to get him in focus. But like a good model he held steady long enough for me to shoot him. I have no idea what type this is maybe Enmos could help with identification of this species, since he is the master of macro dragonflys. Much Aloha for having a peek and a pleasant week to All!

Nice on the wings. Funny I habe a real similar one, but wings are more stationary. Normally these do not stay still long enough. Beauty.
