Facts of life

The ultimate dragonfly fieldguide - talk about facts of life!
A pair of small dragonflies actually mate upon my dragonfly guide-book, even sitting on the exact page describing that very species!
How cool is that on a scale..? :)
Sympetrum danae - male in front, female hanging on. Both slightly worn and darker than the illustrations in the book, due to very late season.

Amazing fortune and an incredible photo op. Well done. Voted.

He he he he..............but that playboy-book must be very large and very heavy. Good luck with that "lady" on the book.

Hehe, yes it's a rather "narrow" chance for this to happen!
Someone on another photo-forum suggested I'd take an issue of Playboy next time,
and then see what happens..! :-D

This is hilarious. If you can do that with all the species, I'll raise my hat and bow. :-)
