Shed skin (Exuviae) of a dragonfly

Another type of shed skin of a dragonfly species. Possibly a darner? This was found on cattails around a smallish manmade pond in a greenbelt area, which does have a lot of dragonflies around it.

Canon PowerShot SX10 IS
1/125s f/3.5 at 5.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

This is a perfect exoskeleton of the dragonfly. If I saw this I would have to take it home. Fantastic capture. V.

Good find, Christine! These are always fun to see but I can never figure out what kind they are. This one looks fresh! V
