    A damselfly with neat colors. They are rather easy to take a photo off but still nice to photograph.

    Lovely clear photograph Kildale. I saw a Large Red Damselfly over our pond the other day. If the sun comes back then no doubt so will the dragonflies and the damsels. Fingers crossed.

    I wonder if they live around here -- either we have a limited variety of bugs here, or I am not very observant... she is pretty.

    It is probably that you haven't seen them. In one year, and really you can remove a few months of winter, I took about 170 different insects and spiders all in the garden. That of course included the young and the male and females. Have a look, all in one year. Wild in the Garden

    I like damselflies, but I hardly ever manage to photograph them. However I do have an interesting collection of photos of the space where the damselfly was sitting just before the camera said "click".

    That's OK then, you missed the 'Before' shot, but you have the 'After' shots
