Ready mission Over?

Description

This was five hours later, I returned to the outdoors to get a picture of the garden my moms been working on. But in doing so I found this somewhat swollen and faded Golden Glory Damselfly, could this be the final hours of our boy?
As a Damselfly dies, their body is swollen, but the faded look happens in only the very final hour... For their skin hardens to the point it detaches from the inner body, causing them to look as those their going to morph again.. But alast, the Damselflies final morph is Deth itself, I hope he found his mate, and I know this was more then likly him, for he is on a branch only feet from his hatching grounds. A great end to the season of spring as well, for a day later summer solstis took a turn and gave us 96F temps, and a blistering sun.

Very nice. These together could be a photojournal of the Damsel fly. Great job.
