Outstanding clarity and color in this stellar pic of the partially crippled insect, clinging to the dahlia leaves. Love the detail in and of the wings.

But her lovely wings more than compensate for what she's lacking in the legs department...great capture, Andrea!

I like this different look at something I always consider to be bothersome. You bring out the beauty in everything you shoot!

I thought at first it was a dragonfly......are they kin to one another........and yes her leg is partly gone but her pretty wings make up for her loss...bless its heart..........I wonder if she hurt it herself or something got her? great capture by the way Hugs Susan

First class capture, not unusual for them to lose the odd leg here and there, I have seen this and in seldom restricts them, often it's a close shave with a bird. Wonderful shot.

Great shot! Seems to show her eating the leaf. Is that what she was doing?
