| The Female Beautiful Demoiselle Camopteryx virgo |
Thank you all so much for all your generous comments whilst I was away on vacation. It was a restful holiday and I will be showing you some of the photos I took, but for the moment want to show you a few dragonflies that came to my garden before I left. Will be catching up with all your blogs as soon as possible:)
The Beautiful Demoiselle is a European damselfly.They measure 30 to 40mm in lengh. The females are a metalic greenish-bronze with brown tinted wings, each with a white stigma. They can be seen flying and resting by fast to medium flowing streams.The females lay up to 300 eggs at a time on submerged vegetation.

What a beautiful damselfly. I don't think I have seen one of those before. Welcome back!!
Owad usiadł na kwiatku, który świetnie pasuje kolorem do niego. Pozdrawiam.
Insect sat on a flower, which is well suited to color it. Yours.

Thank you Nick:) In it's own way it is just as beautiful as the male when it catches the light.
Giga
You are right Giga! The plant is a good colour to show off the green/ brown colour of the dragonfly.

I wonder if you mean dragonflies in general, or this particular species!! Where there is water you will see dragonflies as a rule.

This bronze-copper-green damselfly is stunning. I like its shimmering and rich colours.
Hi Sonjia, welcome back!
She`s in fact very beautiful, and that says it all!
As for my knee, it`s on the mend, I believe, although not as fast as I would like...
Again, thank you for the kind words.

Take care.
