Nice shots Erik! Only with the Crow there is something wrong - it has a bill of Eagle. It makes the insect in the frame even bigger hero!Got this one today, just another ruddy darter

Just when I had this pair of dragonflies in focus, some kind of crow disturbed the scene... Maybe they were chasing the bird, I don't know..

Thanks, Click!Beautiful shot, kodakrome.
Thanks ISv!Nice shot Kodakrome!
What detail!!This is how a migrant hawker looks.. if you happen to be a midge
Sitting on thorne doesn't seem to bother this one..
Click twice (slowly) for full resolution. The Sigma 150mm macro (with 2x TC) isn't that bad after all Somewhat difficult to hold steady by freehand..

I think I can spot a few defective pixels.. I mean facets. Or maybe it is just sensor dust?I love to see the individual eye lenses!
That is very interesting.Do dragonflies carry mites or ticks? Or what are those small objects on the body of this ruddy darter.. ?
Whatever they are, they look perfectly organized
