Bluet eating lunch, Blue Sharpshooter Leafhopper, and Misc Dragonflies

[Parker219]

I was going to put this is the Macro section, but then I saw some of the work over there, and I realize that I need to get MUCH closer than I am getting. The problem is the little boogers don't stay still long and don't like to land near me. So I have to crop a lot and the quality takes a hit.


Since the Bluet ( I think thats what its called ) has a bug in its mouth, I figured that one was at least worth sharing.

The Leafhopper was not much of a crop.

Thanks for looking and/or commenting.

These were all shot with the Nikon D5300 and the Tokina 100mm f/2.8 macro.

YOur first 3 shots looks like they are doing acrobatics. Simply nice...the two last ones are also superb. Nice shots all.

Very very nice capture, certainly better than any I made.
