A wander through the dense grassy scrub behind the Great Pond this morning produced a few sightings of the dainty and attractive Emerald Damselfly (Lestes sponsa). It was quite a challenge to accurately focus on any individual perched deep amongst the grasses with an immature male (above) being the first subject.
Next was an an immature female.
After a bit of a search I finally located the more colourful male.
Beautiful pictures.. Congrats..

ReplyDeleteI love the last image frank, so very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen so many damsels and dragonflies this year.
Interesting to see the Emeralds with their wings along their back like that. I am more used to seeing them like in your last picture.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, sharp photos. Well done.
