Captured three dragonfly images in three different locations in MA last summer. Haven't gotten out with the camera since returning home. Perhaps later today or tomorrow.

I wonder what the purpose is for those dark colored cells on the leading edge of the wing? Nighttime clearance lights?

Very nice shots; dragonflies are fun to watch, but I only seen a very few this year.

Have seen quite a few up here this week but haven't had the opportunity to take the camera out. Drat.

The area is called a stigma and thought to act as a weighted area to dampen wing vibration.

Thank you for clearing that up. Makes sense.

Thanks. I'm anxious to go out looking in the next few days. Since the posted shots were taken I've acquired a faster lens.

Great pics! Do you mind if I use the first one (not for profit....)?

Dont mind at all if you use it. One day after that photo we got hit with 100 plus temps, full bore sun, and the flowers were dead the day after that.
