Summer dragonflies

in photography •  7 years ago 

Dragonflies are predators that feed on insects caught on the fly. They are of great importance to us. Dragonflies regulate the number of bloodsucking insects and pests of a forest. My friend, being a botanist, sent me these beautiful photos. I'm glad to share the mysterious life of dragonflies.

I remember this insect!
Sometimes it would be invisible and we would have to look along its landing surface to find it!
We killed a lot of them as kids!
Now i appreciate them!
Dragonflies!

Thank you for rating!

Nice

Hi, I'm here new, I like your blog, I hope for reciprocity and invite you to my profile

One outstanding feature about dragonflies is that the camera loves them. Never seen a dragonfly coming up ugly in a photo.

Admiro la micro fotografía, por la paciencia y la precisión. felicitaciones

Wauw amazing photos.

Dragonflies are definitely Beautiful Creatures. And they command their respect. There's something intimidating about them when you see them, if they are very pretty. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the knowledge i've acquired based on this giant insect.

Beautiful expository you have here, thanks for this

I didn't know they ate insects. I thought they ate plant leaves or something. They are strange and beautiful creatures though. It's interesting they have two sets of wings. Don't know why they do. Thanks for posting the pics though.

beautiful pictures , capture the colours really well x

Great Post! Now I know to thank the dragonflies when Im fishing in the marshes, aka mosquito heaven.

Its beautiful if we look very close....thanks for share..:)

Great pictures

The pictures are beautiful. If your botanist friend took them as well, then its amazing. But I have a question please. Do dragonflies have any harmful disadvantages as they are important? If they do, how much will it tip a scale compared to their beautiful sides?

I am always amazed how gorgeous wings they have.
Nice predators :)

Definitely nature is wise and each of the organisms that inhabit it has a particular function that helps maintain balance. The explanation that accompanies your photos is very good. Greetings.

Love animals and the circle of life. I'm Oatmeal. Liked. Shared. Upvoted. Resteemed.

Thank you!

I sure wish it were warmer weather to enjoy dragonflies and other wonders. I would like to include some of your winter photography with my poetry in a post(S) I would write...if that is OK. Kind of a compilation or something. Of course I would acknowledge you with a link. Again thanks for your dragonflies. We can only hope.

Thank you! This is a good idea!

Dragonflies Rule nice post.

I love watching the dragonflies play under the sun. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos 😍

Fantastic, beautiful anggle, beautyfull calor, like this picture.
Bravo buddy
I wait you come to my wall if you have time.
Coment your my photo very hope

Great microscopic photography

My children and I enjoy a series of Books by Reg Down that are whimsical and very sweet. In one of the books, a fairy named Tiptoes Lightly says that dragonflies are the very best fliers because they can fly all directions, including backwards. It made me pause and think because I'd never really thought about it before. Pretty marvelous!

I missed catching and playing that kind of insect when I was young. Coz we’re living in a mountainous place before somewhere in Mindanao.

Amazing! Follow you!

really wonderful pictures! you should have an eagle eye to take these pictures

These photos of your friend are beautiful! Thanks for sharing those infos. I hope there are enough dragonflies in Thailand since I go there in a few days and basically all blood sucking insects like my blood. My girlfriend has never any problems because they all suck my blood... :D

These are fantastic images! I love the diversity within our ecosystem.

Beautiful pictures. And beautiful predators.

That's beutyful👍👍👍👍👍
