View of Portrush from a big wheel this afternoon.
It is possible that dragon flies don't bite, but they can be ferocious against each other as I found out last summer: I saw two very large dragon flies on the grass and decided to take a photo until I noticed that one had finished eating the head of the other. I was shocked since I had never seen such a thing.They have to be the 'clothes horses' of the insect world. I love dragon flies because no one seems to be the same. And they come in so many different sizes too. I had one that was HUGE land on my shoulder once, and it was so damn big, I think I screamed. I saw it out of the corner of my eye, and thought it was a small bird. Someone said 'Be careful! THEY BITE!!!' which I've found out isn't actually true, but that thing was big enough to leave a welt, and a story...
Their wings are just so amazing. So delicate, so strong. They are a conundrum, and I believe total badasses in the crowded insect world. They and praying mantis are two of my favorites. I will do everything I can to save a female mantis because I know there is a male out there waiting to give his live to have sex with her. Who am I to deny that?
Easy climb? 😁Messing around on some easy climbs. Gruinard Bay, Scotland. iPhone XR.

Oh yes, slabs can be deceptive. I'm not 100% up on my North American grades but I think its only about 5.2 (v-diff uk grade)Easy climb? 😁
That's how I felt about climbing when I was in my 20's. Nowadays I can only climb a few feet using a ladder.
