Red Basker

This Red Basker is arguably the most impressive dragonfly in Southern Africa (apart from the Blue Emperor, perhaps). The moment I saw it, I wanted to photograph it. It was very skittish – but with great patience, I managed to get my lens to within 10cm / 4". OBSERVATION: It deserves to be seen in VGA – which one may do by clicking on the photo. (One also sees a blue damselfly in the background here -- out of focus).
