phenomenal photos
I guess that's one way to get a darner to sit still for a photo

In the future
Please click "add image" if you have multiple pictures of the same specimen. That way the two are linked, as I've done here for you.

 
unsure they are the same species
These were two separate darners, one fed to the rear chick, the other to the near chick. While they may be the same species, they may not be, and I do not want to mislead anyone.

 
Unlinked
Only images of the same individual should be linked. You were right to submit them separately. I've unlinked based on your helpful comment above.

 
Ah, okay
Sorry about that. Very cool shots!
