Damselflies are insects of suborder Zygoptera in the order Odonata. They are similar to dragonflies, which constitute the other odonatan suborder, Anisoptera,
but are smaller, have slimmer bodies, and most species fold the wings along the body when at rest. Wikipedia

You have a very nice collection of Dragonflies, every shot a jewel of high value.
Both of the lenses deliver nicely.
I love the 300 for great bokeh.
They reside nicely in the frames you put them in.
A pleasure to see these great difficult to get Dragonfly image.
