Dance of the Damselfly

Dance of the Damselfly
A rare natural history insect capture from me here. This seen in a pond on a recent drive and walk. Damselflies (suborder Zygoptera) are smaller than dragonflies and are known for their graceful flight and dazzling colours at times. This couple are in their mating position.

A great macro shot, Herb. The subdued palette works well with this subject. All the best, Joe

You have captured them very well Herb. Even with autumn colours :)
The wings look beautiful. I have never managed to get a decent picture
of them, even when otherwise engaged!

Sunday greetings, Rosa.

I took a few snaps of these but most were out of focus or off picture altogether. Glad you liked the insects and the colours too.
