Elephants Breath by F & B will take some beating but I feel a sense of inspiration coming on :) Cid Miles,

I love the colours of the wing. What an amazing looking creature close up. I shall think of them in a different light now. Anne Miles,

I would add in my defense though that I have never pulled one apart. Your images are very detailed and once again I love the colours. Nature is bountiful if a little quirky in the design department sometimes.... those long delicate legs can't be a good idea surely? The structure of insect wings is amazing this close up.... you can see why Tiffany was inspired when he created his fabulous lamps with dragonfly wing designs. What is it they do to lawns I wonder.... if they eat the grass then I'll hire an army of them to keep mine in check. Cid Miles,
