Last post you met the beautiful little guy who unlike his friends, returned to the same leaf, directly in front of me, and posed. To be sure I got his best side, here are two more. Enough now, I promise:)

love this! He’s standing on his head– or on his legs? I don’t know, but it’s lovely.
He was standing up with his head slanted way down. What a character! Thanks Carol!
They’re great – and the title is very well chosen!
Thanks, a little damselfly exhibitionist 🙂
Wow! great photos.
Thanks Kellie!
Circus de soleil should study this shot:)
There’s an idea;)
Great shots… Thank you dear Elena, love, nia
thanks Nia!
Hey…When you’re hot you’re hot! That was a cool series of shots. Someone is gonna want to buy the rights to them, and make a huge budget Action/sci-fi movie.
Yeah! You’ve got it! Right place, right time. LOVE the idea about a sci-fi! Know anybody?;)
looks like a perfect landing 😉
& much appreciated, so I could snap a portrait:)
So self contained x
Yes, this guy is living in paradise.
LOVE DRAGONFLY’S!!!! Great shot!!!
Thanks! I like’em too:)
in the top one he looks like he’s standing on his head. excellent photos.
It kinda felt like he knew he was the center of attention. Perhaps he did!
He did a handstand for you! A show off for sure.
When you’ve got it, you might as well flaunt it…
Indeed;)
Amazing shot!
Thank you!
Breath-taking! He knew I needed a model for the fairy-dragonfly-angel pendulum wings!!! =D
Did he inspire the in-the-woods sketch?
His image is yours for your reference! Love to see the project when you are finished. Actually, the little guy’s cousins inspired the drawing which in turn inspired me to wait patiently to get a decent shot of the family:) Thanks Leslee!
Elena, very cute this bug, you surprised a excellent photo!
I’m glad you think he’s cute too. Thank you Stefania!
