I'm thrilled to see some juveniles around; they're one of my favorites, and last year was the first year that we didn't find any around our little pond.  I love how the colors continues down the cerci ("tail appendages") like pin striping on a car.  When mature, everything that's yellow on this guy will be red.

Love the smooth bg afforded by the long lens and the warm lighting. Thumbs up.

Beautiful natural colors and details. I can count the spines on the legs.
