Dragonfly

A dragonfly is an insect belonging to the order Odonata, suborder Anisoptera. Adult dragonflies are characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, sometimes with coloured patches and an elongated body. Dragonflies are agile fliers, while damselflies have a weaker, fluttery flight. Many dragonflies have brilliant iridescent or metallic colours produced by structural coloration, making them conspicuous in flight.

I spent about two hours trying two photograph this balanced on a stick in my pond. I had to give up in the end but may have another go later. I'm bloody freezing and my clothes are soggy :v
