dragonflies

My latest fascination. I've always wanted to learn the dragonflies and am now using my 10D, outfitted with a telephoto zoom, to "capture" them (digitally)for subsequent identification attempts. All identifications are tentative and have not been corroborated by an expert. For those of you with experience in the Odonates, your comments/critiques on my identifications would be most welcome.

The thumbnails don't do these delicate creatures justice!
