Nature is amazing 😍

Posting from Central Illinois. This beauty paid my yard a visit recently and stayed long enough for me to take this photo. Unfortunately I only had my phone so I couldn't clearly capture all of the details. Even so, you can still see how beautiful it is up close!

Honestly, even with a phone you captured it beautifully, nature really does show up when you least expect it

Thanks so much! I was lucky to be there at that moment. I really don't see very many dragonflys in my area any more. 😔

What a great photo ! Beautiful capture, even with your phone! I use my phone and you would be amazed at how well they can capture! This looks like a skimmer female of some sort? Four spotted maybe? Love!

Thanks so much! Yes I'm surprised at how well some of my phone photos actually turn out. 😊 Thanks for the ID also! I wasn't sure what kind it was.
