He sure picked a pretty water lily to land on but it seems as tho there was a slight problem - one wing kinda got a little bent upon landing. Took about a nanosecond for him to straighten it out, tho and off he zoomed. (I was about ready to call in the "dragonfly medics". :) :)

Amazing details and what a story you're sharing with us! I'm glad you didn't have to call "dragonfly medics". I've heard they are pretty slow to respond. Congratulations on a fantastic finalist, and good luck in the next round! #11172507
