Dragon in Distress
Sadly this Dragonfly chose the wrong day to emerge. The strong windy conditions have caused it problems and it ended up getting caught on this stem - one of its still soft wings ended up wrapping around the stem. The little dragon was blowing around the stem like a flag on a pole.
I've not ended up with a great shot, simply because as soon as I saw what was going on through the lens I stopped taking photos without bothering to change my settings and raced off to intervene.
I cut the stem and untwisted the fly's wing, but the end of it was still definitely damaged. It was able to fly away, but I don't think that it is really capable of hunting and surviving.
