Demoiselle

[Graham]

Hi all,
inspired by someone else on here with their photo/s of a banded Demoiselle,here is my photos from yesterday.
I believe this is a female, Female Green and Males Blue.

I think those are Copper, (Calopteryx haemorrhoidalis) Demoiselle, Graham

again, so far only spread about one-third the way up France

Glad you managed to get some demoiselles, not banded but just as nice. Superb detail in these and I'm digging the colours on the male.

Thanks Bill and Ryan, Had to get my feet wet to get these shots but the water was nice though so no complaints there.
Thanks for that Bill.

Here`s my bonus shot

"In all my years" as the saying goes - I have never been able to do that with a Demoiselle, I managed it, by accident, (it just flew on me), with a large Dragonfly in S Africa
