The birth of a dragonfly in macro - wings step
The nymph was attach to the wall of the garden. I took photo of it thinking it was a dry grasshopper. 5min later I saw something green on it...The head was coming out! I stayed there watching and taking pictures of the all process. The wings steps comes when the wings a big enough, in one move they open and never will be closed again. It was quiet impressive !
