At Deaths Door?

This Damsel Fly was shot on our last day at my friend’s House in Blainville, QC. It was not quite as flighty as most of it brethren and sisteren (funny huh?)

Not much to really say about the bug other than I think that it may have died an early death, because it appears to have a large number of eggs that have been laid on it. Though I don’t think I would like to meet the bug that can lay eggs on one of the most skilled killers in the insect world. I take that back yes I would, camera in hand of course.

image details: Canon 5Ds r, 100mm f2.8 L macro, Shot at F16, Tripod (of course), 580EX strobe, and ISO 400.
