Willow Emerald ??

New one for me if it is and a little beauty.
Difficult to catch because it was reluctant to settle anywhere and kept going high up into the trees.
Got there eventually!

It really is very pretty, isn't it Keebs!

Congratulations on your new sighting too.... and getting a great picture was a real bonus, wasn't it.

Really good detail on this macro close-up. A pristine female Willow Emerald Lestes viridis. Pale stigmata, 'go-faster' striped bodywork and elongated abdomen. Eyes are tinged creamy brown and not blue. Congrats.
