Really amazing Jim! To think they have blow up wings... Astounding.

Yes, it is a young one. They're called tenerals when they just emerge from the water, split their larval skins, pump haemolymph into their wings and wait for it to harden there. Occasionally, tenerals have a drop or two of fluid on them, like this one.

It's like it is crystal glass, I suppose it must be a young one?
