Day 203 #365Project-It's the Blue Dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis) a skimmer. If you enlarge this you can see the bristles or little hairs on his head and neck. He was above my head so this is actually from the bottom side view. Settings: 100.0mm f/2.8 1/200s ISO:200 @sharkbayte

on October 18, 2010Very nice capture! It's hard to get the eyes clear on these when up close as they are always moving back and forth keeping an eye on you. For some reason they almost seem to have human quality and I guess it's the eyes that make me think so.

on October 17, 2010Cool angle on this shot. You filled the frame well with this skimmer and showed the details in those beautiful wings!
