nice shot here! we have so few large insects here... pretty much only flies! :(

@dj.tigersprout: Thanks, DJ. There are a lot of good-sized bugs here, but most of them aren't very cooperative with photographers.

This is fantastic Eric, how wonderful it must be to have these beautiful creatures flying around you.

@MaryB: Thank you, Mary. We are blessed (and cursed) with all sorts of interesting bugs here in Texas. These dragonflies are some of the good guys; they eat mosquitoes, and there's never a shortage of food for them.
