my first thought was dragonfly too, but the green fuzzy stuff at the bottom of image made me wonder about caterpillar :)

I knew I couldn't fool a bunch of naturalists! It is the head of a very large dragonfly that was catching some rays on a grey dogwood bush in my back yard. But it's not a face-on shot, the view is of the top of its head. I'll post some other shots of it soon, it's markings are perfect camouflage against the bush.

Yes I sort of agree with Ann on this one, looks very much like a Macro shot of a dragonfly.
