Also called Calico Pennant or Elisa Pennant
Too bad this one wasn't sitting on a perch more isolated, but I thought this Dragonfly was too beautiful to leave it in the Canada 2013 folder on my Mac lol.
Well.... I just have to return to Canada to get a cleaner shot :)
Shot in Lake Saint Peter, Ontario, Canada.

Ok, one more and then I will stop bothering you all with Collembola :)
At lease..... for a couple of days. Photographing springtails is like an addiction. They are so beautiful, divers and interesting, I am really having a great time looking for them.

This is a shot I took a couple of weeks ago and I also tweeted it as I thought it was quite special.
I am quite convinced the "big" springtail is a Dicyrtomina ornata. But I am wondering what the little springtail is; a male Sminthurides aquaticus? Anyhow, I liked the difference in size of these two cuties and therefore decided to upload it here.

After the Autumn macros, I wanted to upload a more colourful shot so I picked one from of my Canada 2013 set.
