More Damselflies

After a very slow start to the 'macro season' this year things are picking up and I now have my usual processing backlog.

Here are a few more Large Red Damselflies, all taken in a single session last month.

PLEASE CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE

First, here's an adult damselfly next to the exuvia from which it has emerged. It's hard to believe that it fitted in that! The adult emerged an hour or so before this image was taken and its colours have started to develop.

Now a wider angle image showing a freshly emerged damselfly within its habitat.

...and an image of a damselfly midway through the emergence process. I think it's spotted me.

and finally another wideangle image.

I still have some video to process which I'll hopefully get around to soon.
