It seems like either this dragonfly had a death wish, or it was taunting this turtle. It kept landing on it shell and head.
Maybe the dragonfly thinks it is a rock. Is so, the dragonfly has a short memory because it kept going back to land on the turtle.
Turtles have been seen catching and eating dragonflies, so I’m sure the turtle could have considered the dragonfly as food.
Whatever the story is, I do not think it is wise for the dragonfly to tempt to turtle, but he may not know better. Have a great weekend, and get out an enjoy nature.

Nice photos, Sharon. A “little dog” complex? Glad it wasn’t a frog!

It can escape by flying, but one of these times it may not be so lucky.

Not a very bright dragonfly, that’s for sure. Beautiful photographs.

Either way I’m thinking a bad memory or not making good choices in life. Eventually it will catch up with him.
