2013, Day 56 - Drone

I found this guy resting on a tumbled stone inside Angkor Wat.  It was quite early and the shaded areas were cool, almost refreshing, but it was already getting hot in the sun.  Insects are essentially cold-blooded and the warmth helps their metabolism speed up which is essential for dragonflies.  They are like flying sharks of the insect world, ferocious predators that can move lightning fast.
