| | | Re: Damselfly i help please No 2 I believe is a mature female Common blue damselfly (drab form), the single stripe on the side of the thorax is a good indication.
As for the others I think you have ID them correctly.
I'm sure someone with more knowledge on the subject will be along shortly to confirm.
Nice shots by the way, well done. |

| | | Re: Damselfly i help please I think No 4 may be a fairly recently emerged male Common Blue.

No.5 Is a male Variable,note the broken antehumeral stripe.
The others are correct I think. |
