14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Indonesian Red-winged Dragonfly (Neurothemis terminata)

With a wild motorcycle ride up and around the mountains of Squijor Philippines I made it to the charming Squijor Butterfly Sanctuary where the knowledgable Dante, the owner of the sanctuary showed his array of amazing butterflies, dragonflies, caterpillars and larvae. Spotted rested on a garden bed, with extravagant detail in the wings and bursting with colour like a volcano, it was such a pleasure spotting this beauty of a dragonfly.
