Dainty damselfly elegance

A tiny, exquisite jewel which is I believe, a bluetail damselfly - Ischnura heterosticta, the largest of the Ischnura species here in Australia.

 

They are generally found near slow-running or still water during the warmer months of the year.

 

I believe this is a male, although I understand females have been found with form and colourings very similar to the males.

 

Around 35 mm length.
