Clubtail (Gomphidae or Libellulidae family)

A beautifully composed wildlife shot of a dragonfly perched on a grass seed head at the edge of a pond or reservoir, with the calm olive-green water forming a perfectly blurred reflective backdrop. The dragonfly — likely a species of clubtail or skimmer (Gomphidae or Libellulidae family) — is perched face-on with four translucent wings spread horizontally, displaying its distinctively slender dark abdomen with a club-shaped tip, greenish-yellow thorax markings, and large compound eyes.
