Azure Damselfly - Coenagrion puella


The lovely Azure Damselfly - Coenagrion puella - is commonly found darting about close to the vegetation of ponds, streams, canals and lakes across most of Europe. Very similar to, and often mistaken for, the Common Blue Damselfly, this little one is only approx 3.5cm long and, because it is so small, it tends to lay in wait for insect prey before catching it in mid air with its legs then returning to the perch to eat. This is a male, the female is a glossy green where the male is blue. Seen at Pennington Flash.
