Dragonflies

Shooting dragonflies is my bread-and-butter macrophotography as my garden is teeming with them. I am always amazed by their compound eyes and their wing anatomy. I will be updating this gallery in the days to come. Please do come back here to view them and if you have any comments I would really appreciate them.

Thanks in advance.

how i wish you will also display in your web the standard comprehensive complete anatomy of a dragonfly wing. I wish all of the parts of the wing would be present. I will really appreciate that if it would be.

Some of these remind me of those beautiful flurescent pink dragonflies you had in your back yard.

I love dragonflies....when we are fishing and surrounded by biting insects, the dragonflies come and within seconds the pests are gone! Great study of these amazing creatures....V

Thanks John for dropping by. It is sad to learn that their natural habitat has been compromised. The reason why they are in abundance in my garden is because I have many water features including a huge koi pond. I hope to do my part here.

I like dragonflies as well. When the area around Chicago was still a mix of suburbs, farms, fields and woods, back in the 1950s, dragonflies were in abundance. They still come around my garden as do butterflies, but the destruction of their past habitat has limited their numbers,
