Super shots of a stunning insect. I wonder if we'll ever see this species in the UK due to climate change?

How close is the working distance at 5x - I'm surprised it didn't move as the lens must be right in it's face. 1.6" at 5x -not many dragons will sit still for me at that distance... My Gallery

Not really tame, just feeding. Most darters are ambush predators -they like to find a perch in a target rich area and just pick and choose what they want when a victim gets close. Skimmers on the other hand are hunters -odds are if you see one perched it's not feeding and it has nothing to do but avoid you... My Gallery
