Although dragonflies do not actually have teeth, I could not help thinking that this female Blue Dasher dragonfly (Pachydiplax longipennis) had a bit of an overbite problem when she smiled and posed for me on Wednesday at Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge. I wonder if an orthodontist would recommend Invisalign treatment for her problem—I cannot imagine seeing a dragonfly with traditional metallic braces on its mouth.
Have a happy Friday and a wonderful weekend.

Brilliant shot
Thanks, Tricia.
Absolutely stunning photo! Have a good weekend Mike.
Thanks, Liz! We are supposed to be having some more hot, humid weather, so I suspect that I will be spending a lot of the time indoors.
Very nice Mike! Enjoyed seeing your toothy dragonfly!
Ha ha! I totally see the overbite. It makes me think of Nosferatu. Lovely shot, dodgy dentistry and all.
🙌😎❤️
That’s a great photo, Mike.
😀
Mike, you certainly have a vivid imagination! Your commentaries are sometimes as good as your images. I love the idea of a dragonfly with braces.
