Also known as the spreadwing as it belongs to a group of damsels which mostly perch with their wings open like a true dragonfly, rather than held closed along the length of the abdomen like most other damsels.
Their metallic green casings make them unlikely to be confused with any other species (in our region at least), the only other metallic green damsel being the female Banded Demoiselle, but colour is the only thing they have in common, the demoiselles are obviously bigger, longer legged, are green in their entirety and the wings are very large in comparison and tinted green, plus they are usually only found on rivers, emeralds very rarely are.
The last of the damsels to emerge, they aren't usually seen until July, and will be the only damsel remaining in late season, lasting through September.

Got to capture my first baby jumping spider! He was like all other baby's didn't like to sit still for to long. LOL The little fella was on the tiniest Dandelion seed.
Los sírfidos son una familia de dípteros braquíceros cuyos adultos liban el néctar de las flores adoptando el aspecto de himenópteros como las abejas y las avispas.
Yellow sulfur butterfly on hibiscus flower
Upon the hibiscus, bright and bold,
A visitor of wings unfolds,
Yellow sulfur butterfly, so fair,
In dance with petals, without a care.
Amidst the blooms, a fleeting stay,
A moment's beauty, before it's away,
But in that instant, joy is found,
In nature's splendor, all around.
So let us cherish this tender sight,
As butterfly and flower unite,
A dance of life, a wondrous show,
In garden's embrace, they softly glow.

- THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR VISITS AND COMMENTS.!
Silver Streak blue butterfly basking in the morning sun. It's only when it's basking you can see this dazzling blue colour on the upper side of wings.
A very hairy caterpillar of some moth (ID unknown).
Noticed this crawling in the courtyard. Somebody might have stepped on it, so lifted it on a paper and set it on the compound wall. Served two purposes - it was relatively safer there, and I could get some photos without having to lie down.
Still, it was so agile that it took me about a quarter of an hour and quite a few wasted efforts to get this one keeper.

A very bright coloured tortoiseshell beetle. Generally I've seen them as very tiny ones(about 5 mm), but this one was quite large, more than double the size.
A small butterfly from the blues family, sitting quietly in the morning, yet to start it's activity.
Fin de journée, belle retrouvaille depuis l'année pasée, sur fond de lumière tamisée et d'herbes en fer forgé par des températures précocement élevées
The flies visit flowers or bask on leaves, especially in the morning and afternoon. Males are territorial: they chase other insects from a lookout, often a leaf, by flying after them, then return to their post. The flies hibernate in sheltered places, such as bunkers, slurry pits and caves. They often gather there in large groups (Van der Vlies 2005). Males die in winter, only females survive the winter alive. The larvae have been described by Hartley (1961). They live in watery environments with a lot of organic material, both animal and vegetable, and can even develop in manure. They are particularly resistant to low-oxygen conditions; hence the name tenax, meaning "tough". There are even known cases of larvae developing in the rectum of humans.
