Title: Male Chalk-fronted Corporal With Prey
Post by: fgorga on June 06, 2022, 08:57:28 pm

Photographed made yesterday.

I use a 300 mm lens with a 36 mm extension tube to photograph dragonflies and damselflies. Everything mounted on a monopod.

Thanks for looking/commenting.

Great catch (the photo, I mean!)

Thanks!

My success rate is not nearly as good as that of these critters.

Dragonflies are some of the most successful predators around. Their success rates at capturing prey often top ninety percent.
