The first Damselfly

[Dave Green]

My first Damselfly photo of the year!

Risley Moss near Warrington this afternoon.

This is a newly emerged female Large Red. The rainbow colours on her wings are because they're still wet.

Nice one Dave. I haven't seen any Damselflies this year yet and probably won't for a week or two looking at the weather we're having up here at the moment...

Amazing. Such an incredible thing. Beautiful.

Very nice Dave. Focus is spot-on and the background just right. I like this a lot - they're a jewel of an insect aren't they?

Now I know what a damselfly is. Is she riding a broomstick?

Great shot. Wonderful colors and focus.
