Dew-Covered Dragonfly

Photographer Miroslaw Swietek took the magnificent macro photo of a dragonfly covered in dew. I wonder how the dew drops affect the insect's compound eyes?

Excellent photograph of a damselfly. The other suborder of Odonata besides dragonflies.

The dragonfly-always tripping. I'd imagine she can handle the computations with or without water on the lenses.
