I was thrilled yesterday to see that two of my favorite damselfly species, the Blue-fronted Dancer (Argia apicalis) and the Variable Dancer (Argia fumipennis) have reappeared at Jackson Miles Abbott Wetland Refuge. It is definitely worth clicking on the images below in order to get a better look at the beautiful baby-blue color of the Blue-fronted Dancer and the spectacular purple of the Variable Dancer.

Lovely photos Mike! I love those colours. Damselflies are one of my favourites. I have a lot of adults emerging from the garden pond at the moment, drying and pumping their wings for a new adventure.
The metamorphosis of dragonflies and damselflies is one of the less-know miracles of nature (as contrasted with butterflies). Having your own garden makes it even more convenient for you than it is for me. 🙂
A dragonfly went through our yard and I thought of you!!
That’s so sweet, Molly. Thanks.
Thanks, Ellen. I love macro photography in part because it lets me see beautiful subjects like this that I might otherwise miss.
Lovely
