I know mine is only of a house fly but this is by far my best pic to date! I'm really proud of this photo.

A red Dragonfly


By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Awesome pics!

That cricket looks like it has been drinking the water from Hanford, that thing has muscles!

Wow!   Nice photos!  I never thought the photo I took of the walking stick while hunting would come in handy.  My daughter inisisted I take the picture.  I just don't have it on Photo Bucket.  Sorry!  My computer is down with all my photos.

Thanks holg3107! I was surprised it worked so well, I was actually shooting through my lens backwards and that's how it came out unedited. I really like taking bug photos for some reason  :dunno: my neighbors think I'm weird, walking through the bushes taking pictures  :chuckle:

Nice photo.  Actually a Blue Damselfly, the damselflys are smaller and rest with their wings folded over their backs.  Dragonflies rest with them outstretched.
