Gorgeous close-up of a dragonfly’s wing. 

‘The Wings have a complex, rigid surface that is maintained by a network of veins. The subtle colors of this immature Black Meadowhawk are caused by sunlight reflecting off the still not quite transparent wings.’

Osprey - Pandion haliaetus; Occurring  on every continent except Antarctica, the osprey is one of the most widespread birds of prey. Also known as the fish hawk, the osprey exhibits several adaptions to hunting and eating fish, including dense, oily plumage, large feet, scaly soles, and a reversible outer toe that helps with carrying fish through the air. The Osprey is typically found near still or slow-flowing water, including both salt and freshwater and thus occurs in a wide variety of habitats such as lakes, rivers, wooded swamps with open water and shorelines, from cliffs to salt-flats.
