Orange-winged Dropwing (Trithemis kirbyi)
Photographed yesterday afternoon.
I sharpened the image a little with the specific intent of trying to create the effect of stained glass.
For Sally , who dabbles in glass!

You got a bit confused, there. I can see it has orange wings, so it can’t have dropped them.
Dramatic shot, indeed!

Any idea why they’re called Dragonflies?

None whatsoever.
A job for Spiderman perhaps? An etymological entomologist.
