A freshly hatched dragonfly

Okay, this picture has a more documentary than an asthetic value, as it was not possible to get neither the freshly hatched "Azurjungfer"/Coenagrion nor it`s exuvie completely in focus, even less both.
But still I find it interesting to see this still uncoloured dragonfly and her old hull...
Edit: Well, a higher aperture would of course have been possible, but the dragonfly was already moving a lot, so my model was gone soon.
