Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Darner

I think "everyone" has a similar dragonfly photo to this one! Doesn't take away from the beauty, though.

This Darner dragonfly was out at Frank Lake a couple of years ago. I posted another photo of it a while ago, taken looking at it head on, but this close-up shows the intricate details of the back. They really are spectacular, aren' t they, when seen close?

What detailed things these are when you get up close!

I'll be honest and admit that I was able to get a close-up photo of this Darner for one reason only - it was dead! usually, they are flying back and forth rapidly and it is extremely difficult to find one that has landed.
