This is a relatively rare BF in HK and is confined only to a few areas. Its flight resembles that of a stingray moving in water and has a 'waveform' due to its long tail.
D90 iso400 1/640 F3.5 HH. Thanks for looking and C&C appreciated.

Was wondering from the thumbnail whether it was a dragonfly or a butterfly. A nice sharp image showing off that beautiful tail and fuzzy body. Thanks for posting.

A dreamy creature and you captured the delicateness of this quite well in the scene. I think I would have liked to see a touch more DOF, especially to get the 2nd antennae in focus.
