Nannophya pygmaea

These are known to be the smallest dragonfly in the world. Here's my second try.

Rescue this guy from a spider web.

Interesting...... I have seen this insect before but not so small ...

Nice shots

Good catch of this species.

Nice catch and thanks for the info on this small DF but I would suggest to you not to destroy the spider's meal. Let the nature take their course.

Just my opinion.

No spider there... 3 DF died on the abandon web... it really a pity because the population is already very small. Only 4 flying around.

Frankly, I would have done the same, this small DF deserves a 2nd chance

since they are already very rare.... Hopefully the spider can capture more harmful insects such as flys, etc, mosquitoes?! liargie best!!
