WoW it ended with a blue :)
Thanks a lot for so nice comments & votes. Nice to see there are no 1's & 2's this time. I was really lucky to get this beautiful fly with nice colors & offered me nice POV. I used Kenko 20mm extension tube for this shot without flash & tripod.
I will like to dedicate this image to the master of insect macro photography on DPC roz. I will like to appreciate her efforts & will like to follow her.

An almost unmistakable darter, red-bodied in the male, with both sexes having large amounts of saffron-yellow colouration to the basal area of each wing, which is particularly noticeable on the hind-wings. Other Sympetrum species may have limited yellow-orange colouration near the extreme wing-bases, especially in females, but never so extensively as in this species.
Sites which are likely to attract this species have thick rushy margins. The yellow-winged darter tends to make quite short flights when settled at a site, and frequently perches quite low down on vegetation.

A very cool bug shot. Congrats on the blue and for keeping control of the 55-250 page. Since I seem to have lost mine while on vacation, I think you will eventually kick me off of that page!
