Dragon Fly

From ecological point of view the dragon flies are very beneficial insects.

In the nymph stage they stay in fresh water and feed on harmful insects larvae like mosquitoes and in the adult stage they feed on insects like mosquitoes, termites , spiders etc.

If we find dragon fly nymph in a pond or any other water body we can analyse that water body is healthy as dragon fly nymph can survive only in uncontaminated freshwater.

Moreover these are very beautiful insects. It is such a good sight to see them flying. They have very nice colors and the leaves like venation in their wings are just amazing.

That's a great macro shot.

Great clarity and the detail on the dragonflies face is very cool.
