Sedge sprite (Nehalennia irene), male

A tiny little damselfly, common, but easily overlooked because so small. Notice the spider hanging out below the leaf. Not sure which species it is, but whatever it is, it could probably tackle the sprite.

A great Nature photo Christine. Dramatic with that spider under the leaf. Beautiful
capture of the damsel. ~

A beautiful and lush scene with the shades of green reflected across the plant and animal kingdoms. V

Looks like the spider is waiting. What a lovely image. Makes me long for Spring!
