#dragonhunter

The dragonhunter is the largest clubtail dragonfly of SE Canada and the eastern US and it feeds on large insects like other dragonflies or monarch butterfly which it ambushes from above. For Manufactured Ecosystems I’ve imagined a dragonhunter ambushing an insect-inspired pollination drone. It may very well capture them but it could not eat them. We cannot simply replace declining numbers of pollinators with drones. 🧵

I have my second Elite Spec for Guardian. #DragonHunter ! I wonder if Willbender is what I need to work on next.

I had a feeling I was being watched ...

I'm really pleased how this turned out. Taken live, in the field, on the banks of the Hudson River in the Adirondacks.

This is a teneral adult dragonhunter, meaning it was emerging from its last molt and could not fly yet, which is why it was such a cooperative subject.
