Description:

This one was on my fence, I can't tell what he is holding to but it looks like the shell of a bug or something!

Thanks for the info! I wondered if that is what it was, he looks brand new so it's cool to know how to describe the photo now!

That's the dragonfly's exuvia (shed skin). It appears to have recently emerged and is still drying before flying away. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exuvia
