Green emerald damselfly 1 (Lestes viridis)
August 22, an afternoon at a remote pond. This bug was not very skittish, so it was not very difficult to shoot an image of it.

Green emerald damselfly 2
August 22, an afternoon at a remote pond. A Green emerald damselfly sits still on the edge of a leaf. Clearly the presence of water and trees makes this an ideal place for these insects to live.

Blue-tailed Damselfly 1 (Ischnura elegans)
August 22, an afternoon at a remote pond. The damselfly is cleaning it's tail so it's not completely in focus as I shot it with the lens wide open.
