Four-spotted Dragonfly emerging from pupa

Called in Parc Slip last week and was very fortunate to witness the emergence of a Four-spotted Dragonfly from the pupa. As is always the case, I didn't have the right lens with me but took pictures with what I had and hoped for the best. I have attached a set of photos, of variable quality, of the whole procedure as I saw it. The first image was taken at 10:51 and the final one at 12:31.

One of nature's wonders and a privilege to watch.

    Thanks Mike.

    I have requested an invite to be able to post to the vc41dragonflies blog. Should I then just 'repost' this sequence there?
