A delicate balancing act
A fiery skimmer dragonfly, Orthetrum villosovittatum, probably a young male or perhaps a female.
For the Macro Mondays theme: balance. The dragonfly is clinging to a dead twig with its second pair of legs and using its third pair of legs to balance. The first pair of legs is retracted next to its head. Maximum wingspan of this species is 3 in. Handheld.
HMM and happy new week!
Thank for visiting. I am very grateful for the generous comments and faves.
