    Here is the female Emperor dragon fly depositing her clump of eggs.

    Another great one, Chocky. Even if you do get to go around areas like this it's still hard to see sights like that. Thanks!!!!

    Your welcome. I'm so glad to be able to have shown it. I haven't seen it before
    I have the whole sequence . If played fast you actually see her whipping here tail around to release the eggs. But the Zooming slows it down so much that it doesn't make sense
