Lots of Common Darters around, some approachable, some not. I have stacks which are closer than this one, but I like this because she has attitude. I shot a lot more frames than the 13 used in this stack but could only use these because she kept tilting her head from side to side to get a better look at me.
Note to Odonata: I know those compound eyes have worked for 325 million years, but really, it's time to evolve something simpler. Take a look at what those monkeys have come up with.
