Here is the last of this week's Dragonflies. I hope those interested, managed to get some idea of how to tell boy Dragonflies from girl Dragonflies, lol.
Tomorrow I start a week's worth of caterpillars.
Thanks to those who take the time to comment.

What a fantastic macro. Great piece of work. And handheld too. Aloha
Great series!
And even yellow on the wings. Beuatiful. You really have a wide variety of dragonflies around there. I have only seen one kind and it didn't stay long or land on anything. :-( Outstanding work.
such a beautiful detailed macro golden dragonfly capture amazing capture Lee!!!
...so viele Libellen gibt es wie gesagt bei uns nicht. Gut, dass Du mir diese schöne Tiere auf Deinen super Bildern zeigst! Danke
Excellent details :)
A super and fascinating set of pics!
I see you saved Gold till last Lee, a wonderful Golden Dragonfly, yellow doesn't seem quite right. So today I go for Gold. It's been a fantastic series Lee thanks not only for the images but for the lesson in sexing them. I have found it both interesting and helpfull, and I know some others have as well. When living in my birth house(my surviving brother still lives there), at the other side of this borough I now live in we used to have a large garden the top of which was left to run wild. there used to be all manner of creepy crawlies, that I used to capture and put in jars to watch them grow. Caterpillars were the mainstay of these. New leaves every day, until the hatched out, into whatever, they were then released back into the garden. I learned the life cycle but never their names. I look forward to the next series. Been an excellent week for me, Thank you. Bravo!!!!!
Great bunch. I'll have to send a couple I took yesterday to you. Well done!
