It truly is amazing and you captured it with beautiful detail Ann.

Why don't you try the insect I D sub-forum to get a name.

Well.... you sure got a great picture of this skimmer Ann, even if you didn't know what it was at the time LOL.

Nice one lassie.
 
Looks like a four spotted Skimmer and a beautiful capture it is. Three brilliant shots Ann, well done.
