Was stumbling through some tall grass and just happened to look down at the right moment and saw this guy just hanging onto a stalk of grass. I had been trying to photograph some dragonflies earlier near a pond but couldnt get close enough. Only managed 4 shots of this one because when i shifted position to get a better angle he flew off and this was the best of the bunch.

All comments welcomed. Taken with the tamron 90mm macro.
