transformation
this damselfly , which I think is probably a common blue will have emerged from the body of it's nymph, seen below it , only this morning , and is waiting for the time when it will be ready to take to the air , and in a day or so , take on it's true colours
this insect will have spent up to 5 years living under water as a nymph , but once it emerges it will probably only live for around perhaps 12 days as a damselfly
