Common Darter - I can stand on 2 legs!!

I was lucky enough to capture many insects in my garden today, but loved these darters, this one was quite intrigued with me, he let me get close enough for decent shot, swiveling his head to keep me in sight!!

Heres another version as I couldn't decide which one I liked!

You're so good at these Cazi. You must have bags of patience!

Excellent catch Carole! They never let me get close enough to shoot. It's only the little creepies that let me get close. :-( GMV

Great title for this super close up.
Sometimes I wonder if they can see themselves in the lens, they seem so interested.

Beautiful image. They are just the cutest of them all and probably the friendliest. I always feel honoured if they let me get close.
