Gregory and Verena thanks a lot for your visit and kind comment, With these giant eyes I think he sees 360 degrees, ciao Giangiorgio

Paul I'm glad you liked it, thanks for your appreciated comment. These insects like helicopters go in all directions and stop in the air at the same point, with a little patience you can photograph them even with short shooting times, highlighting the blur of the wings, ciao Giangiorgio
