Shimmering Wings

Southern Vancouver Island

The wings of this dragonfly caught my attention, along with its' darting flight, and after a bit of perseverance I was able to catch it. Dragonfly trivia: They have two sets of wings and they don’t have to beat their wings in unison like other insects do. Their front wings can be going up while their backs ones are going down.
