A dragonfly rests on an alligator's eyelid
I was photographing alligators in Florida (with a very long lens, of course!) and it wasn't until I got this image on the computer screen that I noticed a male amberwing dragonfly on its eyelid. And there's a reflection, too! There are over 100 species of dragonflies in Florida.
