Smiling-Damselfly-?Benjamin_Salb This is a stacked image of a damselfly I encountered on an early morning macro outing this spring. The expression of the damselfly is remarkable, and the large pseudopupil area gives it an almost cartoonish quality. This is my favorite damselfly capture to date.

The Curiosity rover faced a five-mile (eight-kilometer) trek from its landing site to the foothills of Aeolis Mons, but driving across bedrock eroded into sharp points was destroying its wheels. In early 2014, the mission directed the rover across a sand drift at Dingo Gap, leaving behind the jagged bedrock for kinder, gravel-filled valley bottoms.
