    My favourite UK Damselfly, and one that is just starting to emerge now. Yet to see one this year, but soon no doubt.

    Red Eyed Damselfly

    The larger of the 2 Red Eyed Damselflies, there are hundreds of these around here at the moment. Fabulous little creatures. I have always found using a long zoom better than Macro for these flighty beasties.

    not one we've seen before and very welcome. Not 100% on the ID; we think it's a small red-eyed damselfly which has brownish rather than red eyes, despite the name

    I think it is a type of Damselfly......not sure This one was no more than 2 inches long with a body like the lead in a pencil. Photographing insects and little things makes you slow down and pay close attention to what there is to see when you really look close.

    Thank you for your nice comments on my pictures of a butterfly and of my mother. She is not a Birdforum member nor does she take photos.
