A male Southern Hawker dragonfly, Aeshna cyanea

[spiralsheep]

I capped a male Southern Hawker dragonfly, Aeshna cyanea, who was doing a surprisingly good job of blending into the dying and drying late summer vegetation (when he wasn't pretending to be made of liquorice allsorts like the Kandyman. /Doctor Who). I also capped him crapping, heh, but haven't posted that image. ;-)

Oh, I love the eyes!

Compound eyes! It must be odd looking through them when they have water droplets sprinkled on them though.
