Eastern Amberwing, female, depositing eggs (2514361529)

Description:

Description: A lucky shot but persistance paid off. I took this with my Quantaray 70-300 lens but the dragonfly was quite a distance away. I used neat image software to reduce noise when I blew up (cropped) the shot. Thanks to Mean and Pinchy for your help. I have other shots of this event and the male hovered nearby during the egg laying. MOTO. Date: 22 May 2008, 16:50. Source: Eastern Amberwing, female, depositing eggs.
