    Default Black-tailed Skimmer Dragonfly

    Think this one's wings aren't fully developed, so I guess he'd only fairly recently emerged. He had just crawled up a stem of grass.

    In the third photo, he had some unwanted company, cheeky devil.

    Photos taken at Lavell's lake Sunday PM.

    Wonderful close-ups, Rolf! You're really getting expert with those!

    That's the time to catch them - when they aren't quite ready to move A lovely set there - is that a young female, or just an uncoloured male?

    .. and the last shot - brilliant !
