| | | Damselfly id confirmation please.
This one has been uploaded for confirmation of id. I've got it down as an adult male white legged, but I'm by no means sure.
Any help to confirm one way or the other gratefully received.   |

This is definitely not a dragonfly - it's a damselfly. Very easy to tell them apart - dragonflies rest with the wings spread at right angles to the body. Damselflies are much slimmer and rest with the wings closed parallel to the body. |

That's why I had it down as a whilte legged, I've never heard of a white legged dragonfly!
I've changed the title to what I should have put! |

Don't worry Graham - we all have days like that!
With regards to the question - I think you're right in your ID of a male White-Legged Damselfly (Platycnemis Pennipes).
All the best,
Derek |

Definately a white legged, and a fine photo too. | | |
