Insectes

Fuji X-T2 with 80mm f2.8 WR OIS lens.

when I first began shooting insects with a macro lens, I was surprised to see all the hairy details. Some bugs are so hairy it could almost be described as fur.

I don't know the names but I am very happy to share these flicks..Just as it is. No cropping, no photoshop, no tempering at all. All shot on manual settings. Made my day..

so I'm trying to learn about dragonflies, hawkers, skimmers, chasers, darters etc. but with little success. I have no idea what this is, if anyone can help, that would be much appreciated.
