Teneral damselfly


These two macro images were taken last week of this newly emerged adult dragonfly.  Because it has just emerged, the appearance is anaemic looking and without the full colouration of the mature adult.  Damselfly's have a curious habit of moving away from you and hiding behind the stem.  This one did just that and I caught his eyes looking at me.  I had to move to manual focus as the camera just couldn't find the tiny spec of an eye.
