Halloween Pennant
I don't photograph a lot of insects,
but do enjoy photographing butterflies, ants and bees as well as a few others
from time to time.
While driving along a back road in
Florida, I spotted a weird butterfly and when it landed atop a dead reed of
grass, I looked at it through my 70-300 mm lens. I could see that it was a
dragonfly and it posed there for quite some time. I made several images of it,
then noticed many more, and made lots more photos of this specie of dragonfly -
the Halloween Pennant!
I know many people do not like
insects, however, dragonflies are very useful because they kill other insects.
Normally it is difficult to photograph dragonflies, but these just hung onto a
tall reed of dead grass which made it easy.
Feel free to share today's photos with family and friends.
