Artist's Comments

I had a bad day and decided to hang out n relax in the park while the sun was going down and while snapping shots of the dragon flies, i spotted this one that seems albino to me! except that it's eyes aren't pink but it has no pigmentation like the others! any thoughts!?

'Odonates often have dramatic color dimorphism, although this is more
common in some families than in others. No true albino dragonflies
have been found to date.' -MARK KLYM AND MIKE QUINN

I found another photographer who's captured one of these!: [link]

it almost looks it... though the slight yellow & the lack of pink eyes makes me wonder....

yeah but that yellow is most of a reflection from the surroundings and i THINK maybe because they eyes are different to a mammal's that the albino rule for eyes on these are different?

Well...first it is a Damselfly and not a Dragonfly. Sometimes if it is newly developed from larval form the coloring hasn't developed all the way. There are several light colored Damsels in Australia.

Third.....Great shot!
