excellent shot Claire. I got one at Yackandandah on the weekend but although I could see the blue when it flew I couldn't capture it on film.

Thanks Kylie. Don't get a sense of scale, big, as far as insects go.

I agree. They are certainly not small. But beautiful when you can get that blue to show.
