Macro Photography of a rare dragonfly species native to Asia. The dragonfly is perched on a green leafy plant, perfectly still, as if posing for the camera. Its large compound eyes are a striking shade of emerald green, reflecting light and the surroundings. Its wings, transparent with veins, are neatly folded and bear an intricate pattern of black stripes and spots. The dragonfly's body is slender and streamlined, with a metallic blue or red sheen. Captured in a high-definition close-up shot, the photo showcases the beauty and delicacy of this remarkable creature. The background is blurred, adding depth and texture to the image. Photographed by Nicky Bay, influenced by the scientific approach of entomologists, the photo is a tribute to the diversity and complexity of life on Earth.
