Cobalt Blue - _TNY_0043
The beautiful demoiselle (Calopteryx virgo) is a large species of damselfly - but at maximum 50 mm (2"), it's still not a particularily large animal.
Getting this close to it reveals some nice details though.
This one, as given away by the cobalt-blue colour, is a male and for a much wider shot, showing him checking out a female a couple of leaves over, have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/48936887088/
