Dragonflies are a beautiful speci of insects. They are some of the first winged insects to evolve. They belong to the order Odonata.
The subspecies are quite numerous and have various structures especially with colour.

Dragonflies are expert fliers. They can fly in any direction - up, down, forward, backward, sideways. They can even hover like an helicopter.

It is said that some aircraft designs both current and futuristic lend some design ideas from the flight of Dragonflies.

Their flight is said to be so important to their survival because they often catch their prey during flight.

They can also perch on difficult places (just like most flying insects).

Getting a shot of one can be challenging, because they are sensitive, have fantastic vision and can be gone very fast.

Hey a fellow Lumix user nice. Moving subjects are difficult. A slight noise would scare them away. Don't see much dragon flies around here anymore.

Hey.. I agree. I had to move slowly nd carefully towards the subject.
Nice to connect!
Just starting out with photography on the Lumix.

Great camera. Just keep shooting. Enjoy ☺️
