Lively shadows dance among green arbors on a long summer's day
Dragonflies and Koi play joyously and gay
The water ripples and the lotus sways
Evoking an endless fragrance, reminding us of Summer's way

What's gonna happen if the rotors become unbalanced for some reason?? The neck is the first line of defense for the spine, eh?

Yeah stukafox, if Hitler signed off on those frikkin' dragonfly one-man bombers that need no airstrip, he'd a seen these and ordered them into producktshun in time for the invasion of Poland....

I think it was a dragonfly that was in the web.
Certain insects aren't very skiddish - dragon flys will fly around for a bit, but when they land they stay put for a minute of two. Also, it helps to have a good lens - mine was $550. And mlx, PM me your email and I'll send you what I have.

Just superb. I really love that spider photo. Any idea what was spun up in it's web?

I've never even attempted macro photography before. Do you essentially sit with the lens focused on a stick and hope for a dragonfly to land in your shot? I can't imagine any other way to get such a close-up shot in nature than that.

It should had been Firefly, not Dragonfly.

heya, did you film that kitten vid i posted? it's super cute!!
i've filmed a few vids on here that have been posted by other people too, one of a mantis catching a damselfly ( it got a million views on youtube!) -

Actually, Krupo, you're more right than you could imagine. This is not the world's first wing-flapping robot, nor is it the world's first dragonfly robot. The CIA invented a dragonfly robot with a camera attached to it, I remember seeing an exhibit of it at the CIA museum.

Awesome. I enjoyed watching the dragonfly abrubtly emerge from it's old outer body.
