Oniyanma

Back to work OK today. Shaping up the beam I am working on so that it can be fitted post construction, but still look like it is part of the structural joinery. More fiddly than actually making it structural, but never mind.
These days I often get Oniyanma dragonflies in the shop. I usually just switch off the lights for a moment so that they can find their way back out, but today I got one on my hand to have a look at before poping it outside. I am sure it was longer than the 10cm I saw on some web page. Anyway, the largest species in Japan and very nice to look at.
