After emerging from my garden pond the damselflies appeared to have gone off to greener pastures. But they appear to be returning back home, and here is one waiting for small flies to come by to snap out of the air to eat as food, resting on an iris leaf stretched across still waters.
Large Red Damselfly (Pyrrhosoma nymphula), rear garden pond, Staffordshire, England. June 2017.
How beautiful she is. Symmetrical perfection!

Thank you, Sarah 🙂 The reds are beautiful. I also like the blues, but mainly reds here at the moment.
