You know I'm not normally a fan of the bug shots...but I like that first one a lot. Good job, Ian.

dont look at dragonflies or damselflies as insects/bugs etc......class them as bug assassins in that they eat everything that bothers us

Indeed. The more dragonflies the merrier. They eat a ton of mosquitoes. :thumbup

Dragonflys are awesome. Great job!
