A Puzzled-Looking Damselfly

OK, I'm making that up. I don't really know if this damselfly is puzzled, but let's think about it for a second. Let's say your head was about 3mm across; most of that was eyes leaving precious little room for a brain; and those big eyes were staring down the barrel of a 105mm macro lens a mere inches from that tiny head. Would you look puzzled? Thought so.

I think the Damselfly is taking a macro of your lens, wondering where you got that one big eye? v

That's the same look I had when I heard Trump told four members of Congress to go back to their countries.
