Nice shot Tom!  👌   Shooting insects is hard as it is, however, shooting a dragonfly in flight is challenging.  Dragonflies are among the fastest flying insects, capable of reaching speeds of up to 35-54 miles per hour dependingon their size. Their unique wing structure allows them to maneuver with exceptional agility, enabling sharp turns, sudden stops, and even backward flight, making them highly effective hunters and very challenging (very hard) to photograph 📸  They're one of nature's most proficient fliers.  Kudos 👏

 

Cheers,
Joe
