Very nicely captured. There was a program on the TV the other night showing some fossils of Dragonflies. They are a lot smaller nowdays, they used to have a 300mm wingspan only a few million years ago

These are fascinating photos, and well captured.
In particular, I like #'s 1 and 3 due to they're composition. My only niggle with the 2nd one is that there could have been a tad more space at the bottom to balance the image.
The lighting in your photos have really worked well in highlighting the lattice work of the subjects wings, which is great to see.
I'm guessing that these wouldn't look out of place in some nature publication.
