A splendid #damselfly of some sort on a green leaf close to Gayton Road, not far from Queensway, spotted while walking home from the QEH bus stop yesterday.

While trying to get photos of some incredibly shy and elusive ichneumon wasps today - a damselfly landed in front of me. Then took off, grabbed a tiny insect in its mouth, and landed back on the same leaf, with bug snack to munch on. Fair enough.

First dragon/damselfly of 2026, basking on a leaf in Kettlewell Lane Park, King's Lynn.

Also, I hauled the flash to Sweetwater #Wetlands after dark. It was a cold night so these #damselflies were pretty lethargic, making it easy to shove the camera in their faces #EndothermGangStandUp

Beautiful Demoiselle damselflies (Calopteryx virgo). The male has that striking iridescent blue body. The female is a more metallic green or brownish-bronze with clear, greenish-tinted wings. #nature #biology #wildlife #ecology #science #insects #damselflies #photo

Went to a pond workshop in the Kingfisher community garden yesterday; the speaker said that there's huge insect life in Bushy Park, and the largest number of bats in Dublin - but all at the pond where the swans live, not on the woodland ponds. He said this is because of pine trees planted around the woodland ponds, which make them acid. Can't think of a lot of pine trees myself, apart from 2 sequoias and a couple of Scots Pines, all relatively ancient
