The Seaside Dragonlet is a new species for me and I had to work hard to get a decent image which was quite frustrating considering they were all over the place. I am 90% happy with this one the perch is good the BG is nice but the light is a little harsh for my taste and would preferred it at a better angle.
These guys are found near salt marshes and mangrove swamps, thet are also only Dragonfly in the Western Hemisphere that can breed in salt water.
