The dragonfly appearing in the picture is a Black-tailed Skimmer (Orthetrum cancellatum). The picture was taken in Hiittinen, Finland in summer 2006. Getting this close was a true task, especially when using Canon PowerShot S60.

Nice you could get that close to this guy...but I find the photo of him blends in so much with the earth...that he's hard to really see. I guess that can't be helped. It's for sure a pretty dragonfly. Thanx for posting it, hope to see more soon..verena
