This dragonfly is smaller than many in this little mud puddle, but I love the red racing stripes. He(?) spent a lot of time raising his abdomen above his wings. I wonder if he was flashing his colors to attract another red dragonfly.

My macrophotography. Lots of bugs -- flowers, water and other things if I can't find fauna. (Click on a photo to enlarge, click again for an even greater enlargement.)

Sometimes I actually know from coloration or large pedipalps or ovipositor or whatever. Sometimes it's just a feeling. :) I try to put in a question mark if I'm just guessing.
Thanks! I love dragonflies and my new camera has spot focus, so with a mild zoom lens I can actually catch them now.
