Description
Nikon 7900 image.
I was sure someone would ask me about the odd "bumps" on the underneath of the Dragonfly I posted yesterday but no one did.
This Dragonnfly also has the odd "bumps". My uneducated guess is that they are some sort of parasite. I cannot believe they are eggs and that is the only other possible explaination I can come up with. If anyone has some info regarding such a thing, I would really appreciate them sharing it.
Once again I will tell you that this image is well worth the time it takes to see the larger version. Fine details are a lot more evident in the large image.
Thanks to all who take the time to comment.
