Wildlife in Flight - upload your photos

[offshorebirder]

I will refrain from posting any more non-avian photos to the "Birds in Flight" topic, so let's start a topic for flight photos of non-bird wildlife.

 

I will start out with a mating pair of Roseate Skimmers (Orthemis ferruginea).  Nikon D500 + 70-200mm F/2.8 VRII.   F/6.3, ISO 400, 1/1000 sec.    I was photographing butterflies perching on flowers and this living jewelry buzzed past.  Western edge of Charleston, South Carolina in improved suburban habitat (my mother's yard).

Does this qualify?!

 

[offshorebirder]

Absolutely @Whyone? - amazing shot.  And it also looks like a couple of starling BIF in the background for extra points.

A few dragonfly in flight images. I think they are mostly Tau Emeralds or Australian Emeralds.
