Wow Desc1234 , That's very gorgeous photo here. I really like how sharp you managed to get in focus these water droplets. I would love to se whole subject in frame, but then I believe you wouldn't be able to get that close to it.

Thank you, Jack I shot several pictures of this critter. Here is a full view, shot a few seconds before the close one.

Thank you, Jack It's really a lottery trying to find these guys in the half light in the marshes. There's a critical 30 or so mins between when they come out of hiding and are able to fly, like finding a needle in a haystack.I wish I knew where they rest.

I guess you need to wait for the summer to see more of them

It's not that far. If you live near the forest, then there you can find other types of insects or bugs.
