Final day of dragon hunt



This beauty is a dragon by its name so I reckon it counts.
Thank you for the challenge, Melli. T'was fun.

That's great. I love the way you found dragons in nature. This is another good one.

It just dawned on me how you get those insects to stay so still! You've been spraying the lowers with instant stick glue, haven't you?

That is stretching it just a bit.

It has some strange eyes, if that tiny black dot is an eye.

i'm so glad this works for you, melli! after all, it IS a DRAGON-fly!

mary - well, i had nothing else to post so i gave it a try... thank you

carver - sometimes a different approach works, sometimes it doesn't... this time it seems to have worked... thank you

quilly - did you have to tell everybody?!

dr.john - but YOU said butterflies are in fact the little dragons... then dragonflies must be all the more so...

chrome3d - that black dot is just a part of its eye but yes, they are strange to us humans...
