Let alone photographing it, finding it is very difficult and this is a golden dragonfly whose population is very rare in my area. Finding this dragonfly is like a great fortune that should not be wasted, this dragonfly is known to be very wild and very active, in general we often find this dragonfly perched on trees or wild plants, they look very tame and very friendly to humans but as soon as we want to approach it, this dragonfly will immediately fly away and move away from us, it is very boring to wait for this dragonfly to perch again and it takes extra patience if you want to photograph this dragonfly.

I experienced several failures when I wanted to photograph this dragonfly, it kept flying but I kept following it, I didn't want to lose it because I knew this was a very unique dragonfly. When this dragonfly reached the top of a small tree, I tried to approach this dragonfly from the back and in the end I managed to photograph it but I only managed to take 3 pictures.
