Damselfly
Before you let your teenage damselfy go out at night, you need to know: Where is she going? Who is she going to be with? What will she be doing? You’re the parent. You need to know these things.
Because if you don’t know, she could be hanging out with carp.
They eat damselflies, okay? This is a bravery stunt about to go horibly wrong.
Thanks are due to Athena Fritz for sending this one in. Sorry for the mega-zoom-out here. You may need to uses the larger version to even see the damselfly. She’s the flash of blue at the center.
It’s impossible to make a positive ID at this resolution but I think it might be Argia vivida or a related species. They’re pretty common and match the markings here.
Thanks Athena!
Slowly getting the site back onto an even keel. It's nice to get back into the old posting rhythm.
