A sand wasp on a bank of a river. Do these sting? I didn't dare to check.

Another first for me - the Blue-spotted Emperor (Anax nigrofasciatus). Had to capture it in flight, as they don't land often.

It was great to find Mnais pruinosa in Japan. Flash showed slight iridescence in otherwise transparent wings.

Amazing ant mimic - looked just like a tiny ant hanging out near other ants, but is actually a plant bug larvae (iNat suggests Closterocoris amoenus).
