Was lucky enough to find a patient damselfly this afternoon. Still took some warming up to, but after following her for about 10 minutes, she allowed me to get close enough to shoot. Had to army crawl on the lawn (super fun in 100+ degree heat :faint:) to sneak up on her. Really interesting watching them hunt, hovering above the grass, then lowering their head (like a helicopter changing its pitch) and striking. :o You can still see a leg of its last meal hanging out of its mouth. Mmmm :P

Please tell me what you think! :dance:
