Jul 27, 2020 07:11 | #1039 Teton wrote in post #19099085 I've become intrigued by Dragonflies and Damsel flies. The more I learn about them, the more interesting they become. Learning to photograph them is another fascination. I am using my Canon 100-400 version 2, on a 7D MK II and am happy with the results so far. I have two extension tubes that I want to experiment with. Surprising, at least to me, is that there is a huge variation in how tolerant the different types are. Some will tolerate me within inches, others need at least a few feet safe space. I definitely need a good field book, and/or a good ID site. Here is a what I think is a Seepage Dancer from yesterday, a very windy day. They are interesting creatures. They spend most of their time in the larval stage. The damselfly you posted has a life expectancy of a couple weeks. Few die a natural death but are done in by birds, fish, etc. There are a number of good sites you can check out; here are two:
