Ebony Jewelwing damselfly
A summer early afternoon outing found this and other damselflies and dragonflies patrolling this stream - their presence indicating unpolluted waters.
Hunting for lunch?Looking to make more damselflies? Probably both ;)

Manual focus on the old Nikkor 200mm f/4D lens. Love that lens!
Damselflies are insects of the suborder Zygoptera in the order Odonata. They are similar to dragonflies, which constitute the other odonatan suborder, Anisoptera, but are smaller and have slimmer bodies. Most species fold the wings along the body when at rest, unlike dragonflies which hold the wings flat and away from the body. An ancient group, damselflies have existed since at least the Lower Permian, and are found on every continent except Antarctica.
