The Damselfly (Suborder Zygoptera) is an insect in the Order Odonata. Damselflies are similar to dragonflies, but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most damselflies are held along, and parallel to, the body when at rest. Furthermore, the hindwing of the damselfly is essentially similar to the forewing, while the hindwing of the dragonfly broadens near the base, caudal to the connecting point at the body. Damselflies are also usually smaller, weaker fliers than dragonflies, and their eyes are separated.

Damselflies undergo incomplete metamorphosis, with an aquatic nymphal stage. The female lays eggs in water, sometimes in underwater vegetation, or high in trees in bromeliads and other water-filled cavities. Nymphs are carnivorous, feeding on daphnia, mosquito larvae, and various other small aquatic organisms. The gills of damselfly nymphs are large and external, resembling three fins at the end of the abdomen. After moulting several times, the winged adult emerges and eats flies, mosquitoes, and other small insects. Some of the larger tropical species are known to feed on spiders, hovering near the web and simply plucking the spider from its nest.

HI Taner
This dragonfly has already taken a good bite out of the plant, and is now sunbathing. The life of a bug is not bad after all.
Good shot well balanced, and well presented.

hi Taner

This should be damselfly, very nicely captured macro shot and at a good angle for close up. Good choice of BG blur.

I like the focus on the head, body and legs with such sharpness.

Hi Taner. I have yet to get sharp focus on this tiny damsel. You have achieved excellent framing with stunning clarity here. Nicely perched on that leaf with shallow depth. Excellent contribution and well done. Regards. Jusni

Selamlar Taner Bey,
Netlik ve kompozisyon olarak çok çok başarılı bir kare. İsmi de çok uyumlu olmuş. Gerçi o anda yapacak bir şey yokmuş ama arka yaprakta ışık patlaması gözü biraz rahatsız ediyor. Her şeye rağmen mükemmel...

Hi friend,
This is an excellent macro shot of a dragonfly. Wonderful frame and i love the diagonal composition.

Merhaba
Vay be bu kadar nasıl yakın oldunuz anlamadım. Ama muhteşem çalışma.

Selam Taner Bey, Kızböceklerinin en güzellerinden en zariflerinden biri, Ischnura elegans (Turk. Mavi kuyruklu kız böceği). Nefis bir kompozisyonla yakalamışsınız. Detaylar renkler gerçek tadında. Bu arada dişi birey olduğunu da ifade etmekte fayda var. Elinize sağlık.

your macro is great Taner. I think in lots of them, you dealing with harsh light. Probably if you are considering about the timing it will be better :)

Hello, Tuner!

Nice capture and beautiful details! Great job!

Abraços,
Bruno

Hello Taner,
superb shot of damselfly with a lot of sharpness and beautifull colors. Good composition too. Congratulations Siegfried

Great macro Taner! I don't know how you have the patience to find such subjects for your postings, but I'm really glad that you take your time to find what the ordinary eye could very easily not pay attention to and miss.
Wonderful composition, colors and details shown!
Best regards,
Diana

Hi Taner,

An absolute perfect capture of this sunbathing damselfly - could not be better - lovely bokeh of natural colours as a BG.
