Boulder Jewel (Platycypha fitzsimonsi) Male

A Male Boulder Jewel taken at Kogelberg Nature Reserve, Western Cape, South Africa on the 8th December 2012.

 

A Fantastic damsel, the combination of electric blue tail and bright red legs is stunning! Apparently they use the legs in courtship, but I never saw them do so...

 

Kindly lightened and sharpened by Phoposhop Master Steve Covey (aka: Od0man).
