This is a perfect shot showing the patterning on the female. I wish I had a shot at this attractive angle! Bravo!

I'm glad you found your female dashers! This is a great shot, and shows the double line of dashes which made me realize that it wasn't an immature whiteface, but rather something completely different! I found the females to be less active than the males, and thus easier to get close enough for a macro shot. V
