Loved them all! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou've got this down to a science and/or an art. I'll vote for the Immature Male Widow Skimmers and perhaps even more for for the Four-spotted Skimmer. My question is: is it redundant to call a male of any age immature.
ReplyDeleteGood one AC! Thanks for the laugh :-)
ReplyDeleteSuperb photos of these wonderful insects!
ReplyDeleteYou're not the only lawn lounger who finds them as fascinating as NiC over at London Nature Photo Blog does to! xx

These are amazing Doris! I love the first photograph... he loooks as if he has a crash helmet on! ;o)
ReplyDeleteHi Flighty: Thanks for the link. What a great collection of pictures! I have saved the link in my "favorites".
ReplyDeleteHi Daffy: It's funny you mention crash helmets because I have been thinking these last few days how helmeted cyclists remind me of dragonflies!
Gorgeous shots.
ReplyDeleteFlighty told me about this blog after reading my poem about dragonflies. Here's a link:
