That's great, Loren! I love how they grab onto the top of sticks like that! I caught this guy doing the same. Wonder where his other 2 legs are. Tucked up along his body I guess?

Nice shots, too. That's one thing about dragonflies, they usually find a place to perch while hunting, then return to it a few times before moving on. I happened to notice that guy landing on that stick a few times and got out the macro.

Very impressive. I don't have the patience for dragonflies, so i enjoy seeing what other people can capture.

A Giant Swallowtail. I think it's the first time I've seen one. Or maybe it's just the first time I've seen one and cared.
