Yellow-striped hunter dragonfly

it is my first time where I present subject with insect,it is a category new for me,
I have minimal knowledge for the insects
and minimal macro technical knowledge,
I will not specialise itself,
however subjects as this I cannot overtake it.

from wikipedia:

A dragonfly is a type of insect belonging to the order Odonata,
the suborder Epiprocta or, in the strict sense, the infraorder Anisoptera.
It is characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings,
and an elongated body.
Dragonflies are similar to damselflies,
but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most dragonflies are held away from,
and perpendicular to, the body when at rest.
Even though dragonflies possess 6 legs like any other insect, they are not capable of walking.
Dragonflies are valuable predators that eat mosquitoes,
and other small insects like flies, bees, ants and butterflies.
They are usually found around lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands because their larvae.

Hi Nasos,
does not look like your first, everything is fine and great. Nice presentation with excellent clarity and sharpness. The blue sky as the background is really beautiful and attractive. I like the hairs of the leaf too.
Well done.

Regards,
Foozi

Hello Nasos,
For you first insect-picture you have chosen a very interesting point of view, which here makes the picture. With such a position of the insect it's almost impossible to have sharpness all over the body. Your choice was the wings and thorax, which was I think a good choice. Nice looking leaf too. We are looking forward to see other pictures of the kind.
Best regards
Anne
