A common dragonfly, the Moustached Darter, Sympetrum vulgatum. Taken with my first macro (Sigma 50mm, 2.8). You have to get real close with this lens to get 1:1. Great for coins, but not so great for fast-moving wary bugs. I’m not quite there with this one, but he was still a little too cold to go anywhere.

Near Barjac in southern France, early morning.
