Caught in a trap on day 173

Categories : 365

This poor little bug or fly, not sure what it is (Dragonfly, Mayfly, any clarification welcome), was yet another flying creature to get caught indoors. Obviously I always attempt to release these poor things from certain death, (although wasps get less assistance than most creatures), but this was such a magnificent looking thing I decided I had to try and capture an image or two of it first. I am pleased to say that after its photo shoot, it was guided successfully outside and flew off.

edit: I have now been informed by @IHphoto that it is a Female Broad Bodied Chaser Dragonfly. Many thanks.
