Spotted whilst walking my dog by the River Stour near Bournemouth, Dorset. I loved the bokeh and colours.
Damselflies laying eggs
a dangerous moment for them
Tried to have them both in focus

Hello everyone,
The damselfly chose to pose on vetch, a wildflower that bees adore. Vetch is quite short-lived in heat and has already shriveled considerably.
Thank you for taking the time to view this image and leave me a comment! I love hearing from you! Have a wonderful day!

Deze prachtige vuurjuffer vond ik in de achtertuin zittend op een blad van de Oosterse karmozijn bes. Drie huizen verder hebben ze een mooie vijver met diverse libellen en juffers. Ik denk dat deze daar vandaan kwam. De houding op deze foto vind ik erg mooi. Even groot bekijken - door op de 'L' toets te drukken.
I found this beautiful damselfly in the backyard sitting on a leaf of the Oriental crimson berry. Three houses further they have a beautiful pond with various dragonflies and damselflies. I think this one came from there. I really like the pose in this photo. Viewing the same size - by pressing the 'L' key.

Both chicks are interested when one of their parents show up with a damselfly to eat. Of course, they are on the back of the other parent in this photo. Red-necked Grebes let their chicks ride on their backs when young and take an active role in procuring food for their offspring until the chicks can fend for themselves. As a snack a damselfly isn't too bad but it's hard to watch the chicks try to down a regular dragonfly as they don't get to pluck the wings off before they eat them ;)

Damselflies taking advantage of the sunny day near the pond where they later laid their fertilized eggs. (Coenagrion scitulum).
Thanks for the visits and comments.

Not a great quality, but it captures something I've never seen before: a small damselfly landed on a butterfly and spent some time sitting on it. The butterfly did not seem to object.
Observed at the Heinz Wildlife Refuge
