Finally some new images of the little purple devils ;)

You can tell it's getting hot in this next shot. Dragonflies can't sweat, so they point their tails to the sun to decrease the amount of surface area exposed to the light. It was about 33C (92F) and I was melting...

All Canon gear: Xti (manual mode F16, 1/200, ISO 100) + 62mm of extension tubes+ 100mm macro lens + 500D diopter for about 2.75 times life size. MR-14 EX ring flash set to a 4:1 ratio and -1/3 FEC.
