Dragonfly - White-tailed Skimmer!

mweich (66)in #photography • 9 years ago

This White-tailed skimmer dragonfly (Orthetrum albistylum speciosum) wants to shake your hand!

Remember to click on the pictures to see them up close!

Full wingspan shot, just hanging on to this little twig for extra stability!

The foremost pair of legs is very mobile as they use them to catch prey as well as clean their eyes of dust and such! It looks like this one is cleaning its feet much like a cat would do!
