So beautiful in his mourning clothes forever. Couldn't we give him a prettier name? Such a fine macro, brilliant. V

I have seen lots of females this year but no males yet. This is a beautiful species and your photo shows him very nicely!

Wow, that is such a stunning picture you took of that widow skimmer, Christine. And tack sharp. May I ask you how the male differs from the female ? Is it the size or the colors ? Perfect. V
