focus for the eyesThank you for your vote and comment. Macro shots have very limited depth of field. The photographer must opt for clear focus of the eyes first ( if eyes are involved). This creature looks so much like some sort of aircraft, complete with ball turret and radio antenna. Best regards....

SkimmerIs this perhaps a newly emerged adult, wings et al not hardened, adult colors not yet fixed? Where and when?
Very good subject and shot! Thanks, sorry I did not notice it before.

Re: SkimmerThanks for your comments. Skimmer was photographed on wisteria in our yard in July 2010. We live in Argyle, north central Texas. Bug guide.net identifies the species as pachydiplax longipennis. Quite a name to be sure!...Best regards, Charles Baxter
