Quite rare in Holland but I've seen them. Very tiny. Great shot John. Lovely colors.

I bet he can pick up plenty of channels

Never seen one myself, thanks for sharing....

Nice work.

Interesting looking creature John and one that looks like he could pose some composition problems, not here though.
Lovely gold colouring on the creature and complemented by a similarly toned background.

Thanks all.
These are the ones that dance up and down in groups, on the warm evenings.
