| The Nymph of the Damselfly At the beginning of summer the nymph leaves the water to begin it's metamorphasis. |
 |
| The nymth climbs up a reed, the skin splits down it's back and the Damselfly emerges. I have never been fortunate enough to actually witness this transformation,but thought I would show the nymth-.cuticle, which eventually dries in the sun and falls in the water. |
