Image of Dromogomphus spoliatus (Hagen ex Selys 1858)
Description:
"Spectacular creature. Greg pointed out the back-facing spines on the hind legs - literally a ""bear trap"" that locks the prey in when captured. I layed on the ground for this perspective. The lifer was my Thrill-of-the-Day. Fourth shot a cool window into iNat group."
