Evening all,
I found this on an otherwise fruitless trip for inverts - started too late, I suppose. To my eyes, I'm thinking of a White-legged Damselfly colour-wise, but I'm not too good with these Odonatas - all too variable! It landed too far away for a good side-shot; as I stepped forward to get a closer photo the long grass flattened down in front of me and jogged the blade he was on and off he went!  24/06/2010  White-legged Damselfly?
Thanks for looking.
Take care, Jason  |

Doesn't that always happen. But what a subtle and sophisticated something he is! A cut above, I'd say.  Dill |

'He' is actually a she - a female Azure Damselfly. White-legged Damselflies never have such black abdomens. |
