No Fish, Prawn Also Can

A Hokkien saying but oh so apt. Where have all the creatures of the forest gone? Have they all gone on vacation? Cause if they are around I don't see them.
During major droughts like this, I will settle for anything I can find. Like this dragonfly with bumble bee colors. Don't gasp! I know it has a proper scientific name but they are all such mouthfuls. I even took an extra 30 min detour just to see if the route I've not walked in sometime will yield anything. I found a small black damselfly but because of its size and where it was sitting I couldn't get a good shot. My fault since I dumped the external flash in favor of a lighter set-up. It also means that I'm going to have to make a trip out again to find this damselfly and get a better photo.As I was approaching the end of my detour, this little fella showed himself.Okay, the little prawns that popped out weren't bad at all.
