dragonfly... which is actually a damselfly!

This is the closest I have ever got to getting a picture of a dragonfly... I didn't have a good macro lens and I had to crop this to see the detail but hey... it's my first one :)

Well done! I've tried this year, but I haven't even been able to see any land, never mind photo them

[Babs]

Beautiful. His eyes are huge.

Beautiful pic, I think it might be a damselfly as the dragonfly holds its wings out when resting. Don't quote me though ;)

@bella_ss a what?? I will have to look into this... I have never heard of a damselfly... but that sounds like it could be true I wondered why it's wings weren't out!

@ulla the things you learn from 365 hey... I also learnt that back in 2011 when I started 365. I hadn't heard of a damselfly either ;)

Great capture. I didn't know the difference between a dragonfly and a damselfly. Maybe Ive Never Seen A Dragonfly. This Is A Super Capture.

Absolutely wonderful capture of this beautiful damselfly! When I first started this project I had never heard of a damselfly. One of the most exciting shots for me was my first dragonfly photo...it wasn't long after that I got my first damselfly photo and I observed firsthand the differences between the two. Here is a link to a site with a good explanation of the differences and also photos of the two: https://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/animals/blogs/how-tell-difference-between-dragonfly-and-damselfly
Again, this is a fabulous capture and definite Fav! :-)
