The dragonfly in the picture has just completed metamorphosis. You can see the naiad it just crawled out of. It is now waiting for his wings to get hard enough for flying.

About one minute after this picture was take, the dragonfly spread out his wings and flew away, ready to start mating and begin the life cycle again.
