Great Blue Skimmer Dragonfly on left is/was being "bugged" by a unknown "bug". Cant help but admire the little guys Spunk. Cant help but feel sorry for poor dragonfly, just wanted to hang out on nice sunny day. Cant help but think about Great Blue...."Better you than me"

Great natural behaviour shot, Bill. As always is the case, the smaller one will take on the bigger one, like crows chase Ospreys, Hawks and Bald Eagles. And Red-winged black birds chase crows.

A superb macro of this dragonfly. Excellent detail and gorgeous colours. A great action shot too with the little bug pastering it.

Thanks to everyone for sharing a bit of time. Great Blues our most common large Dragonfly here until Green Darners pass through during their movement south.
