A sunflower attractive for insects from my garden

In Cornwall

I would love to be able to say that this is taken in the wild, but of course it is not. It is a part of an insect exhibit organized at the

NECCC conference by Kathy Macpherson Baca. Thanks, Kathy, for the wonderful experience! I am so glad to have met you in person, after admiring your images on Flickr for a long time. I had fun with your fascinating creatures, and learned a lot in the process of having fun.

Macro Mondays theme for June 14th is Pick Two.

For this week's Macro Mondays theme "iSpy" (a subject beginning with A, E, I, O or U). I chose I (insect).

Nature constantly surprises me. I got up early this morning, brought a camera and a chair, sat down next to a lavender bush to take a picture of some insect. I took some nice pictures and headed to the house to pick a picture for MM. On the wall next to the front door, I saw this small (1cm), inconspicuous moth, and out of habit, I took a picture of him. When I saw him on the screen, the first thing I thought was ‘what luck that he is so small and I didn’t see his head because I would have run away for sure’. I called him Mr. Lizard's Head.

HMM!

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.
