I took this picture when I was trying to capture a byttlerfly but
I ended up with a dragonfly instead. Untill a few minutes ago
I had no idea of how beneficial this insect really is.
It eats mosquitoes, midges, and other small insects like
flies, bees, and butterflies. It is a valued predator,
because it helps control the populations of harmful insects.

Fantastic shot. Love the sharp wings against the soft background.

Very very nice, If I had to be picky, I would probably crop a bit off the bottom to just under the tip of the tail, and maybe clone the dark shadowy strip on the right.

Thank you all for your kind remarks. I was about 1 meter and a half away. What I find remarkable is that the camera was handheld. I cropped the center of the image, which gived the impression I was closser.
