Red Dragonfly
Green Dragon on a yellow umbrella.
I know I’ve got a lot of HDR and humor, but I do take some serious shots. / Sigma 150mm macro + Simga 2x TC / This little guy was super patient with me! Even after this he didn’t fly away.
This shot was taken in my backyard, just as this praying mantis was passing in front of a yellow mum !

Ladybirds, ladybugs or ladybeetles? / Depends where you are from I guess… Thanks again to Stephen Chapple for his help with my recent images. Check out his work too:
This hoverfly mistakenly wandered into the forbidden “hippie section” of my backyard garden!
One of my favorite shots. It comes with a funny story – it was photographed in a front garden of a house not far from my home. The lady living in the ground floor encouraged me in taking few shots there, and as I did so, I got chased out five minutes later by the man on the first floor. Luckily, I´ve managed to take few great shots by that time, including this one.
This guy got a little carried away at this afternoon’s pollen party !
A dragonfly is a type of insect belonging to the order Odonata, the suborder Epiprocta or, in the strict sense, the infraorder Anisoptera. It is characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, and an elongated body. Dragonflies are similar to damselflies, but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most dragonflies are held away from, and perpendicular to, the body when at rest. Even though dragonflies possess 6 legs like any other insect, they are not capable of walking. Dragonflies are also the fastest flying insect. Dragonflies are valuable predators that eat mosquitoes, and other small insects like flies, bees, ants and butterflies. They are usually found around lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands because their larvae, known as “nymphs”, are aquatic. (Wiki) / Olympus E510 / Glass Lake, N.Y. USA
