Miniature dragonfly

melvynyeo · 19th October 2005

I found a miniature dragonfly today. It was about 3cm long! Very small and beautiful. I was cursing while shooting these because it started to RAIN

All the picts came out over saturated because the dragonflies were in very bright red in colour. Slight twig in saturation in PS.

Interesting find. The first shot is the better among the 3 shots.

Thanks for your comments!

I'm not happy with these shots actually. BG too dark. Hopefully, they are still there the next time

Got a ID for these dragonflies. Nannophya pygmaea. Some is as small as 15mm with a hind wing length of 10.5mm. Now... that is SMALL!!!
