Thanks, FujiS2, Azone, Garion, Megaweb & Adrian for your comments.

Here's a couple of full bodied shots of the damselfly. It's bigger than most damselflies that I've seen, and tends to move about quite a bit too. Both are considered record shots. Background a bit messy under the dark forest canopy. Fill flash used. Handheld shots.

1/125s ; f8 ; -0.3EV ; fill flash -1.3EV

1/20s ; f8 ; -0.3EV; fill flash -1.3EV ; camera supported on floor of boardwalk

Wow :bigeyes: I just saw the 2 full bodies pictures you posted Papilio. Very nice!!

It's really the best looking damselfly around. Fantastic colours, and I especially like the eyes.

Hi,

Unable to find an exact match. Have to depend on more experienced dragonfly experts like you... :embrass: :sweat:
