@sohkamyung Thanks. I guess what I need most is to wait for them to slow down and stop. I did get a couple of decent shots of some butterflies that were resting, but the monarchs and the dragonflies never seemed to stop! The one time I managed to successfully track a dragonfly in flight, the result was so blurry I could hardly tell it was there!
I’ll keep the wardrobe tip in mind, too. I was wearing a red shirt at the time.
