Hairy legs IMG_9973

I don't know who he is, some kind of dragonfly I guess, but he has got quite hairy legs and big eyes. Unfortunately he was in such a place that I could not get a good picture of him. And then he flew away.
Fantastic detail!

With his segmented body that looks like bamboo, I think he's a Damsel Fly...I have a pic of one in my project...July I think...it just looks like a blade of grass in small form, but if you open it, you'll see him! They ARE hard to catch in a good photo! I think you did quite well!

@espyetta Thank you! It might even be a she. Platycnemis pennipes, female looked the same. Male was blue on the pictures I found.

@annelis Mine looked metallicy silvery green, but I think the green was reflection from the blade of grass...not sure.
