The beaded dew drops on the webs looks so beautiful rickst

I've seen quite a few people post shots of dragonflies covered in dew drops as well..... does this prevent them from flying?
or can they just fan their wings and flick it all off?

I've never seen a bug of any kind covered in dew myself.

Beautiful shots Rickst ... Skippy

They can fly, but they prefer not to until their wings are dry. When they're wet like this, I can get within inches of them with a tripod...
