Does anyone know how to bribe a dragonfly? The ones around here are so hyped up on bug juice that they rarely sit still for more than 3 nanoseconds before zipping off on some grand adventure.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

That's is what they do but they seem to come back to the same spot time after time. Just wait for it and click. I enjoy they way you captured this one. A nice perspective Wendell.

Put a fly on your shirt...and they will sit and munch on it!

But first.......you have to catch your fly!...☺

The dragon fly sits there like an airplane on the runway. Nice find and a good capture of it Wendell. Perhaps the older ones will be slower.
