Incredibly photogenic dragonfly

in photography •  8 years ago 

The most incredibly photogenic and chill dragonfly I have ever met landed on me yesterday. It then proceeded to appear far less impressed with me than I with it. After sitting on my hand for a few minutes it moved on back to the creek 60ft/18m away. I looked through various books on insects and rummaged through some sites trying to match the coloring of it, but the best I can come up with is it being a "Skimmer".

This set of 4 images show it cleaning it's front leg.

I'd be too scared to hold a dragon fly but you aced it
Great Photographs as well

Thank you. They really are mellow and won't bite, just that they tend to be so flighty they aren't likely to sit still.

Model :)
