I hope I get the chance to catch this happening someday myself. I caught a dragonfly just after it was out last week and managed some pretty good images. I have been wondering about the white strands which are sticking out of the exuvia. I would like to know what their function is. Is it something like an umbilical cord that sets off some sort of chemical reaction or something. They seem like they might have been internally connected. If you or anyone knows what they are called and or their function is, I would like a link to good information. Great shots. I hope I get the chance to catch this happening someday myself.
