Description

Hi Guys,

Went out yesterday evening to look for males of the Yellow Winged Darter, since I 've had mainly shots of the female. So here's a nice Red Male in close-up.

Greetings,

This is absolutely awesome!! Jeroen, your macros of Dragon flies are the best I've seen at BP. The details you provide always amaze me. For beginners like me your info is really very useful. Thank you. #487465
