An enticing and detailed rendition here, well done.

I assume many would be interested in how the capture was done as well.

Not sure where everyone is from here, but when I was growing up in Connecticut, dragonflies in general were often called darning needles or knitting needles, so my bet is on darner.

Nice image, by the way, and I'll add to the hope that we hear how it was made.
