Excellent photo and videos, Cal. Love the splashing water sounds in the background. Great detail as Elizabeth pointed out. I saw the little critter and thought, "how lucky for him he is so tiny---the dragonfly has no interest in him for a snack."
I'm a little "creeped out" watching these dragonfly videos---he's like a cross between a living critter (with a pulsating abdomen!) and an evil, alien robot!
He can twist his head around 180 degrees! And I know they are excellent hunters on the wing.
Donald, The front pair of legs is often folded up and tucked below and on each side of the head. You can see all six legs pretty well in the 27-minute video after he begins his flights back and forth (about 5 minutes into the video).
Thanks, Cal!
