Dragonfly (?sp)
   

Actual size 50mm, Queensland Australia

Canon300D with 100mm f2.8 macro lens. f/10, 1/160 with fill in flash.

Dragonflies have huge eyes, taking up almost all the space on their head. As hunters they rely entirely on sight.  This specimen is waiting on his perch for another meal to fly by.
