Deep Blue Eyes - _TNY_5204

Probably the best time to photograph damselflies, like this male common bluet (Enallagma cyathigerum), except for when just having climbed out of their larval skin and are unable to fly plus when asleep, is when they're eating.

 

This one from the Drevviken nature reserve in Skogås, Sweden made a couple of half-hearted tries to escape me, but basically just went to the next blade of grass to continue eating whatever small little something he had caught.
