Excellent photo! You must have the patients of a saint! We have these buggers all over but do think they will sit still long enough for a shot or maybe it's me that wont sit still long enough! lol
Great work MaryB! :D

@seventhray: I am a patient person, but they had me running around like a wild woman, trying to get a decent capture :) and as they were mostly around the edge of a pool, it was difficult, I nearly ended up in the pool myself a couple of times lol
Thank you for your kind comments :)

Erik from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands

I have to look at the series you tell about, now I've little time, but it promises much watching plaisure looking at these two, they have no manners, I must say, what is the front one doing with the one he is holding? It cannot be mating or I must be mistaken!

18 Jun 2007 2:48pm

@Erik: Thank you Erik, I'm not too sure what they are doing, but the're were a lot of the dramselflies doing it! It could possibly be the way they mate. :)
