Male Azure Damselfly - Coenagrion puella

Found this little fella flying round after about 10 mins he landed for approx2 seconds and I managed to get a shot !

You can identify the Azure by the end tail marking similar to a bow tie and 2 shoulder stripes.

Canon EOS 20D
1/250th sec, f9, ISO 200,
Canon macro lens. full exif


other sizes: small medium large original auto

The colours are so sharp, Cazi. They usually fly off before I have time to remove the lens cap :>)

Beautiful Carole, yes they're fast and very nervous aren't they. Great shot, so sharp, and love that blue colour.
