Very nice indeed !!

Thanks Danny for the kind words and comment
Erland, after your observations and description,, I believe you are definately correct,,a very good observation on your part,, the wings do look different as well as the thorax,, well done,, thanks for your input, much appreciated

First time Ive seen one of these before,, beautifull coloring on these guys,,and they have that Hairstreak tail thats constantly whipping,,

Thanks Erland,, someone else identified the blue one as a Eastern Pondhawk too,, I believe its victim is of the following picture, there seems to be many of these gold dragons flying around as of late,, I wasnt able to get an ID on the gold one,, searched buguide for more than 100 pages :shock: :lol...

very nice shot,, the body on that large fly kinda resembles that of a robber fly doesnt it ?

amazing stuff here Ken,, thanks for the explanation,, I didnt know all that stuff,, man,,, you sounded like a science textbook there bud Very interesting stuff there fir sure

wow,, remarkable series here Erland,, excellent work !!

Thanks Nikola and Doug,, its called an ovipositor huh? didnt know that,, learn somethng new everyday Thanks again guys

Thanks Harold and Doug,, "size does matter" Thanks Doug I guess yourre right there

Thanks for all the nice comments,, nature can certainly be brutal at times,, but to be out there with a camera is such a thrill sometimes Thanks again for the comments
