Found a dead dragon fly today

Such weird bugs

Today while I was on my morning walk, I found a dragon fly in the grass. I normally would have just left it there and kept walking, but when I looked at it up close, I noticed that it was still in perfect shape. It isn't all the time that you find a delicate insect like this in such good condition, so I decided to pick it up and bring it home for a photoshoot.

I took a lot of pictures, and then once I was done editing them, I think I ended up with 29 of them that I liked. Instead of breaking the images up between several posts, I am just gonna post them all in this post. It was really cool being able to get pictures from a bunch of different angles and experiment with things.

I really liked how the leaves look like a stained glass window. Nature it pretty cool and macrophotography gives you an up close seat to see the beauty of nature.

The closeup shots of the head are pretty gross. I have never seen a dragon fly's mouth before. It is such a weird thing to see.

I hope you enjoyed these pictures. They were a lot of fun to take.

Thank you. I was trying for a more artistic approach with these shots. I definitely wouldnt be able to get shots like this in the wild.

Remarkable animals. They look as though they are made from glass. Great photos too.

Undoubtedly, these are beautiful photographs that showcase the beauty and intricate details of this insect.

Thanks. They are fascinating little bugs.

Urghhh! But fascinating to see it so up close and personal, and virtually of course

[derangedvisions]

It is super cool to see it up close cause it is impossible to get these types of shots while they are buzzing around.

Stunning photos. i bet it took a lot of time to take and edit the shots 😎

[derangedvisions]

Thanks. It didnt take too long. Probably about two to three hours of my time.
