Pic(k) of the Week: Turtle and amberwings, down by the lakeside

Two dragonflies flit dangerously close to a turtle...or, from the turtle's perspective, deliciously close.

• Turtle: northern map turtle (Graptemys geographica)
• Dragonflies: eastern amberwings (Perithemis tenera)

Down by Avondale Lake, in the (small) city of Avondale Estates, Georgia, USA, on 5 June 2020.
