Actually, I deliberately didn't mention the lens just to see what people thought without prejudice
I've spent quite a time recently playing with different macro combinations and this is simply the Pentax 18-250mm at 250mm. Not even a macro lens.....
Obviously won't do proper macro, but I was very impressed. I have some butterflies as well, but can only post one a day.

Good capture and an unusual angle of view. Macro lenses are not best suited to Dragonflies; usually better results are obtained with a quality zoom (55-300 works well too). The 18-55 kit lens is also surprisingly good for this type of shot.

Cheers David. I didn't know that. The 18-250mm has rather taken a back seat lately, but I'll get it out again soon when the weather picks up.
Tempted by the 55-300mm, but can't justify both. The 18-250mm is such a versatile travel lens I don't really want to sell it.
The unusual angle of view is simply because every time I tried to take it head on, it turned around. I got fed up eventually and took the shot anyway!
