This is perhaps not the sort of reflection that is expected for this meme , however I thought it was quite striking and unique. I think it might be a Stream Cruiser dragonfly. I found it attached to the blossom of s purple vetch along the roadside. I couldn't get a good, sharp , clear photo of it and thought it might be dead as it displayed no movement when I jiggled the stalk of the plant it was on. still, no movement, so I picked the flower, dragonfly and all. I had considered taking the dead dragonflyhome to take a good picture of it with my macro lens. I had laid the purple vetch blossom and the dragonfly on the hood of my car and then I saw a slight quivering and vibration in its wings. As I watched it moved its legs and wings and then flew away!!!! Wow! Surprise!!, so I got no maco photos of this beautiful creature.
