I had never seen a dragonfly emerge and was pretty surprised to see this at my eye height. The emergence process was nearly over when I passed by. The dragonfly was likely waiting for his wings to harden and he didn’t move at all for the two or three minutes I watched.

Nice catch, Ellen!
Thanks, Belinda! I could hardly believe I spotted it, and didn’t have to bend over.
