Neck-twisting Antics Of A Dragonfly

After I accomplished my initial routinary rounds on a forested area of my workplace, I spent my spare time having photowalks along a trail near the outpost of which I am stationed. Then I saw dragonflies hovering over the vegetation thinking that these insects are good subjects for a macro photography, I waited for one to land on a shrubbery portion of the trail.

Upon seeing that the dragonfly finally perched itself on a twig, I slowly moved closer, almost every step of my legs is well calculated in an inch by inch msnner so the dragonfly will not notice my presence once I got the proper distance to deliver a series of shots.

So I slightly zoomed in the lens of my phone so that there's no need for me to move my phone closely further to the subject as it might flew away once it detects the movement of my hand to point my gadget.

Then the dragonfly begun to move as if it is scratching its head.Then as I started to make some few clicks, the dragonfly suddenly twisted its neck as if bringing its head to have a 360° turn and fortunately I was able to take pictures of its movements of which I also learned that dragonflies can twist their head in a somewhat prolonged manner.

This is my entry to for this week's #pobphotocontest by @friendlymoose featuring insects. Good day to everyone!🤠❤️👍
