Another Backyard Friend

I had some towels drying in the sun earlier this summer, and a huge dragonfly stopped by for a visit.  I couldn't believe how close it let me get without flying away.

  1. That's actually a CIA nano-drone. If you look closely, you can see the serial number stamped on the back of its head.


    Made you look. ;-) But seriously, they make drones smaller than that, now.

  2. Marvin - And here I thought it just liked me. *sigh* Have you ever read "Prey" by Michael Crichton? Your nano reference made me remember that. If you haven't read it, go pick it up. You might like it.

  3. That's incredible! I've tried to capture dragonflies but they're so elusive. Nice!

  4. Spleeness - This one was not shy at all. I think he's a bit of a camera whore.
