Aeschynanthus radicans and Dragonfly

 Here is a very cold dragonfly warming up after a night of 45 degrees F.

Click on the picture to make it larger... the blog doesn't do the photo justice.... the insect is such a shiny, intricate thing!

It's coloring blends in well with the colors of the plant. The green of the body matches the leaves, the browns look like stems and the maroons match the "lipstick" flower colors... camouflage at it's finest.

Comments are welcome.
