nice one, wish I had a wider screen to view it.Strange to think the prehistoric dragonflies were even larger - they must have caught mice!

That was before mammals had evolved though (I'm sure you knew that really!).

Very impressive!

Don't know about mice, I think that one would eat guinea pigs...

Common darters are quite small as dragonflies go, which only goes to show that this is an impossibly good image. Amazing stuff Brian.

Thanks for the very kind comments everyone. Much appreciated :)
Think you must get a different impression of size when when you are using an MPE-65 - I always think these are big insects and hawker dragonflies are gigantic. :)
Just trying to show that with a cooperative bug and some stitching software (or PS) you can do macro panorama shots.
