Looks like he might be afraid of his shadow, Count B.
You must have been hovering above him when you took this shot.
It's a beauty.

Although the background is busy the Sympetrum striolatum - looks sharp and nice.

Great shot! You managed to capture the detail in the transparent wings too! Bit o' trivia here - even though these creatures have six legs, they cannot walk. The legs are permanently set into the thorax and are immovable.

my best images happen by accident. there is so much to be seen in the minutiae surrounding us that we often miss the very best.

Accidental provides us with some cool facts about the darter!

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

My mother used to call these critters sewing needles, so I did my best to stay away from them. Kids have wild imaginations. Great close up, Richie.
