Photograph by Marilyn Susek.
Photography contest, Honorable Mention.
Aeshna cyanea -- southern hawker.
Beginning this week, we will run photographs every other Monday, so no picture next week; we no longer have enough honorable mentions and other miscellaneous photographs to continue posting a photograph every week. But polish your lenses (very carefully) and keep an eye out for the contest in the summer.

I looked this up in Google to see if was native to England and found in on the British Dragonfly Society site:
(In my ignorance I had not even known there was such a Society (although, perhaps, I ought to have guessed!)

Fascinating flying machine!
It is autonomous and smarter than a 747 on autopilot!
It reproduces and has a multi-eye vision!
These things are submarines until they come to surface and fly away!
Mind you I am not of any Religion, rather a PURE LOGIC philosopher and Scientist! But I still do not know how this darn thing does not need to learn much to fly with 4 wings! And not exactly a bi-plane!
Cheers!

Yet just think of how electrons can figure out the partial differential equations of quantum electrodynamics!
