Emergent Dragonflies

Just missed a couple of [W:dragonflies] emerging from their larval skins and could not get close enough for a good picture.

I did manage to collect an abandoned skin once they had departed.

Update 28th July 2009:
This piece had a lot of visitors yesterday (but not a single comment ;-)) most of whom were from the UK. A couple of visitors from [W:Google] itself passed through – probably in response to this link.

Of course Google searches are dynamic things and this page itself is now appearing in the .com listing. So for the record here is a picture of the original listings.
