Native Grassland: Dragonfly

Dragonfly is one of the insects that have main body segments and six legs to help them fly and to support their movement. Despite having six legs, the dragonflies do not use those to walk, but it is used to hold onto foliage during rest, and grasp prey. The reason why dragonfly is different from other insects are their eyes, wings, speed during flight and this insect has good eyes to detect the threatening objects that may harm them. I found this typical dragonfly at two different places, wood and outside of the house a couple of days ago. This dragonfly is widely distributed throughout Southeast Asia and is commonly found in the grassland, meadow, and forest. Dragonfly has various colors, one of them is red tail. This color has attracted me to get a couple of shots of its look. In order to get the full shape, I had to be careful to approach to its front. After knowing my presence was not detected, I slowly zoomed toward it.
