Ronnie . . eeeek . . dangerous things like that belong under bolted glass.

They will come and get you, when you sleep! Very cool processing! By the way: the more macros you do, the more you will turn into an entomophiliac. :-)

Imagine what dragonflies say to each other when dangerous humans settle by.

Lol - splinters, hey? :) This is so clear and crisp - beautifully done. But what is that unusual looking piece of equipment?

I prefer the live buzzing one, beautiful creatures..... I think dropping that contraption on your foot would cause much more injury than a wee splinter, yes, do be careful:)

What a cool collection, it would be hard to get that dragonfly in that bolted contraption without some magic shrinking powder though.

Impressive what you have put together here. I like the clear detail of the dragonfly and it's placement in the image next to this unusual device with other capsulated insects. The dragonfly represents many things to different cultures, such as thoughts, balance, change, and living to the fullest.
This image goes on the long list of favorites you two have created.

Fascinating device, with stunning details along with the the dragonfly. Have to admit when I was growing up I was terrified of dragonflies, think it was the name that generated the fear. Great arrangement, excellent clarity.

Terrific! I too am wondering what is that wonderful device. It looks like it is from a board game.

As always a great meeting of two pictures. Perhaps the device is a "dragon" slayer.

LOL ... my husband is convinced those dragonflies bite! :) What's that mysterious looking device Ronnie has got there? It looks like something he borrowed from Jules Verne?! ;)

It's true that I like to photograph them but I prefer mamals.
You've made me laugh with your com Ron. Laugh loud. ;-)))

@djedfre: : (from Ronnie) Thanks, djedfre. OK, that ‘device’ is my re-assembly of a Climate and Ecology display explaining the important role of insects in the living world. It is more linear than I show here and the insects rotate in those zones as their own role is demo’d. I just knew you would all be thrilled !

Great shot of the dragonfly and perfect composition!! They are such interesting insects aren't they? : )

Wow...what detail in those wings and that gorgeous metallic green body. (I sound freaky, don't I?) Excellent image and I always laugh at the quotes from L & R!
