Buddha

I found Buddha, in this case, the version known as “Happy Buddha.” (Notice the exuvia seems to be smiling.) I think I’ll rub Buddha’s belly to see whether it brings me good luck, prosperity and wealth.

But seriously folks, this is a photo of a Prince Baskettail dragonfly (Epitheca princeps) exuvia on temporary loan. The date and location where the specimen was collected is unknown. More photos of this exuvia (including several annotated images) will be published in an upcoming post.

The following photo is the original. The preceding photo was cropped and rotated clockwise 90-degrees.
