| The Flame Skimmer (Libellula saturata) is a common western dragonfly, and a striking creature when you can get a good look at one. The image shown here was shot in July, 1995, in the Sierra Picacho Mountains of Nuevo Leon, Mexico with a Canon T-90 and a Sigma 500 mm F4 lens with a 1.4X extender on Fuji Sensia 100. |  |
| The next two images were digital captures in April, 2003, in Travis Co., Texas. The camera was a Canon EOS 10D with an EF 70 - 200 F2.8 L lens and 2X extender. |  |
