12 spot dragonfly on prairie clover
I am always fascinated by dragonflies. I used to be scared of them as a child. I'd be buzzed by them and think it was a bee and they could sting me. I grew out of that and have some to appreciate how delicate and elegant these hunters are. Their wings are remarkable in their coloration, strength, and veining. Their compound eyes are gorgeous. One can watch their flight patterns to figure out where they keep landing in defense of their territories. Just wait, then shoot.
