Beautiful Demoiselle Damselfly. (+PiP)

Beautiful Demoiselle Damselfly. (+PiP)
Taken last Friday afternoon near Southwick, Hampshire.

This aptly named Damselfly is found along many watercourses where I live in the south of England. It likes to sit on perches over fast flowing water. I was lucky enough to visit such a place with a friend who had local knowledge.

This one is a Male.......and you can find a photo of a Female in the PiP.

Best viewed large, I think.

The PiP is absolutely stunning Keith. Such wonderful details, especially its wings. It does help if you are near a small pond or something like that - these damselflies are all over the place.

Such a beautiful sheen! The female is gorgeously attired in that golden gown. The male dresses a little more soberly but still looks spruce.

Glad you like these two shots Tanja...........they're such beautiful little things and it was great fun trying to get photos........they move very fast and only settle for seconds at a time. I deleted more shots than I kept :-)))
