More dragonflies

Well, damselflies, to be precise.

This one I saw yesterday is a white-legged damselfly aka blue featherleg (Platycnemis pennipes), blauwe breedscheenjuffer in Dutch.

"Breedscheen" translates as "broad shin", referring to one of the unusual features of this species:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/125s

Portrait shot from up close, note the focal length, if such things interest you:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/160s

This one was also sitting close by; it could be a female or young male of the same species, but I am not sure:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/250s

Thanks for watching!
