Darter dragonflies mating on the rotary clothes line. I had to try and thread the camera and flash through the washing lines for these.

Maybe the view was nice from on top of the clothes line
Wont be long and I bet you'll be showing us newly hatched babies.

Nice going Brian ... Skippy

Where better to "hang out" than on the clothes line?

Very nice images, and it looks like you used the 105mm macro lens and the Canon XT/350D.

Thanks for the comments all.
Did think this was kinda funny

Ziggy- still use my 350D/sigma 105 a lot esp in Summer for larger bugs like dragons and butterflies. The MPE-65 might be a wonderful lens but you can't fit dragons in the viewfinder

great close ups.. I wish there's one without their wings being cut off too.

Thanks for the comments HC.
Unfortunately I had 33mm of ext tube on the camera at the time so this was the widest FOV I could get in a couple of the shots.
