Dragonfly.
A dragonfly (not sure which one) photographed while boating on the Orange River, somewhere between Gariep dam and Vanderkloof dam.

Re: Dragonfly.
An excellent photo.
To think that those delicate looking wings turn the Dragonfly into a tiny jet plane of the insect world as the fastest flying insect.

Re: Dragonfly.
Amazing things. Their 'air frame' has remained essentially unchanged for nearly 300 million years. A scaled up ancestor had a wingspan of 750 mm and weighed nearly half a kilo.
