Thanks! I used a Canon EOS R8 with a Sigma 100-400mm lens for these photos

Neat! At which F-stop? Your bokeh is really blur-cool. Is the R8 full-frame/mirrorless?

Ive never seen this variety. Probably dont exist here in North Texas.
Love damsel flies. Had a beautiful jeweled one land on me years ago and felt strangely honored.
