Insects light trapping


Okay..

I've been taking so many pictures for insects in general for the past two years..but these are the most closest and finest pictures I've ever got.

To be honest , i dont know the scientific name yet , but soon i will get them.and for sure i will write them. , even though if you know what are they , please feel free to tell me.

usually the emirates natural history group make a light trapping day ..( A day where we go to see what kind of insects are in al ain or Oman , and making some observation..to me it's really interesting..)

hope you will like them.
This insect after a while will be a dragonfly

I still dont know the name yet, but its one of the insects that i really like

Great macro shots. That pinky-purple dragonfly is amazing. I've never seen one that color.
