Huge Dragon fly

[Choderboy]

Biggest I've ever seen anyway. About twice wingspan of the usual ones I find, wingspan about 15cm. All pics uncropped.

Nice shots. But looks like he poked a hole in his eye in #4. Didn't he ever listen to his dragon-mom. I can hear here now, "Now D, don't go flying around with that stick or you'll poke your eye out."
