This is a really impressive shot and find. The light is wonderfully soft with spot on exposure. The video is really neat. Thanks for sharing. -Techo

Thanks to all for your comments. This year, there were 30 to 40 nymphs swimming in my pond but many of them emerged during the night so I did not have many chances. I made a movie of one of them, you can watch it here (be patient, the action takes place in the second part): http://www.flickr.com/photos/ghphoto/5864187965

Insects creep me out. AND, also this is fascinating.

Absolutely amazing. Talk about being at the right place at the right time, and being ready when the opportunity presents itself. Good job.
