While at the cottage last week I came across a dragonfly that just emerged from its old shell and saw the new wings form. Unfortunately it was raining hard, otherwise I would have set my camera up on a tripod for time-lapse photography.
Here's the best pics I could get considering the horrible weather. In the first pic, you see how the wings were all crumpled, wet and soft. In the second pic, as the wings dried they actually looked like stained glass. As they dried even more in the third picture they formed perfectly ( changed the background colour in the third pic to show more detail).
Pretty cool!
