Dragonfly

Dragonflies are similar to damselflies, but the adults can be differentiated by
the fact that the wings of most dragonflies are held away from, and perpendicular to,
the body when at rest. Even though dragonflies possess 6 legs like any other insect,
they are not capable of walking.

Dragonflies are valuable predators that eat mosquitoes,
and other small insects like flies, bees, ants, and butterflies.

Beautiful detail in this, I can even see the hairs on it's body. It's wings are fabulous, like stain glass without the color!
