I saw the end of the "tail" had a bit hanging below it in one but I think you said that was female. Only thing I could see that was different apart from some colourations Richard Weja Canon gear:

At the end of the tail of the dragon , a male has those two pins at the end close together while a female has two pins with more space between them . Weja Thanks Jan for the explanation and illustration

Most of the time, i'll take my macro's handheld (90% of the time) That way i am a lot more flexible to get thet perfect angle , so that everything will be sharp. Weja Your pictures are absolutley fantastic. I find handheld easier/more flexible too, though I need to perfect getting that perfect angle right. A lot more practice ahead for me! I saw my first dragonfly yesterday, tried to get it in flight, when along comes my husband and gently waves it away!!

Welcome to the forum! Catching them in flight can be tough, but fun too. You will see a fair amount of flight shots if you scroll the pages. Hope to see some shots from you soon!
