Hi vole-woman

Male and female Azure damselflies. (Male is the blue one)

Female Banded demoiselle.

[vole-woman]

Oh, that's great, thanks. There seemed to be about twenty make banded demoiselles to one female: is that usual?

The females tend to be overlooked as they mainly come to water to mate with the eager males + to oviposit, otherwise they tend to keep to the vegetation + out of sight to some degree, otherwise they get a lot of hassle..

Oh, right. We did see some being hassled, now you mention it.
