There are lots of insects around, since it's still pretty warm outside. They'll start to disappear when the temperature goes below 50F/10C. #insects #bugs #insectphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildflowers #damselfly #wasps #dragonfly #boneset

I love the turquoise and blue accents on this black damselfly, don't you? Not the sharpest photo ever, but look at the details in the enlarged view.

A striking looking damselfly due mostly to the turquoise thorax, final abdomen segments, head, and those brilliant darker eyes.

A male black-tailed skimmer (Orthetrum cancellatum)
This is one of the largest #dragonflies here. This species prefers open, sun-exposed water surfaces and shore zones. The imagines like to sit on stony or sandy ground to sunbathe.

Hardly ever see the glorious #Calopteryx #virgo around here so I was very excited to meet this splendid fellow yesterday. Light was horrible and it was windy but this photo is just about acceptable. I don't think it's possible to really capture their amazing iridescence in a photo #damselfly #macro #insect #odonata

The ghost form of the Yellow feather legs damselfly, Copera marginipes. This is the form of immature adults, they become yellow, green and black as they get older. They fly around shady drains hunting for small flies and other insects.
I shot it against a shaded backdrop so even though it's in colour there is a monochrome look.

got major sunburn sat by the pond watching the bugs but it was worth it (don't be like me and always wear suncream folks)
marmalade hover fly (Episyrphus balteatus), blue emperor (Anax imperator), black tailed skimmer (Orthetrum cancellatum), and tapered drone fly (Eristalis pertinax)
bonus: lots of blue damselflies (Enallagma cyathigerum)

American Rubyspot - female

Thought I'd follow up on yesterday's post of the bright red male with this lovely female of the species and her subtile beauty. This is a prettier photo, as well, IMHO.

These damselflies can be found all along the Rio Grande where they stay close to the water. Only the males show the bright ruby coloration.
