Saved this guy from the rain

Was out taking photos on my lunch break and found this guy on the sidewalk all wet, people were walking by was worried it get squished. So I scooped him up and set it inside the bay door at work so I could dry off and fly away when ready

3 slow-motion hunts by a male Orange-winged Dropwing dragonfly (Trithemis kirbyi)

https://reddit.com/link/1ssfsfl/video/y0qd2f3ifpwg1/player

While filming a short story about this species in the summer of 2025, I finally perfected my technique for recording dragonflies hunting. It took me almost 3 years to get it right.

Thanks for watching! Greetings.
