Dragonfly that lights up (2 Viewers)

I agree with others, it's likely a visual illusion caused by shifting angles of the body (in flight), wing reflection, or some other effect of sunlight interacting with the body that causes the effect. The video a couple posts up is a reasonable example, but I've seen instances where it was even more striking.
