This is a great moment of opportunity you propably prepared for a long time, Stu : love how the yellow works with the red to create a studio-like portrait of that glamourous Rita Hayworth dragonflewn ! ;)

magnificent colors. I also like the "detail" that the insect appears to feast on a dead plant.

Each time I see a cracking shot like this of the little beasts, I wonder why they never cooperate for me ! Nice one.
