lose their wings. And all those dragon fly wings float on the surface of the water. And it is sad but also the cycle of life. The dragon flies themselves were fish food I think. A day before, or so, they were mating. Not a long life.

I'll bet that 180mm macro gives you good working distance!

bought it in hong kong 20 years ago. It wont autofocus with my nikon z8 so i gave to use an older camera (nikon d850)

We had a lot flying around the pool today.
They are so beautiful.

Killer images!

Well done!
