Feeling Left Out - _TNY_7849
So I followed along on a small fishing trip with the family to a group of small tarns known as Rotensjöarna (the Roten lakes) with several species of game fish like charr and brown trout. Personally I of course had no ambition to do any fishing (didn't even purchase a fishing permit) but brought the camera instead.
The day was very warm so the fish weren't really biting and the various dragonflies and damsels had no problems operating at full speed, meaning not many were sitting still.
When walking home on the footbridges just by the water my son spotted these common blue damsels (Enallagma cyathigerum) busy with the mysteries of damselfly mating. Or two of them were. The guy on the lower right was probably feeling quite left out and had to settle for being the voyeur this time.
Here's a closeup of another bluet just a couple of meters away from this: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/50334581183/in/dateposted/
