Zygoptera, commonly known as dragonflies and damselflies, are some of the most fascinating creatures in the insect world. With their delicate wings and vibrant colors, they never fail to capture our attention. One such beauty is the Beautiful demoiselle damselfly (Calopteryx virgo) male found in Peerdsbos, Brasschaat, Belgium. Its iridescent blue-green body shimmers under the sunlight, making it a true spectacle to behold. Another stunning species is the White-legged damselfly (Platycnemis pennipes), which can be seen peering over an Oxeye daisy. This elegant creature with its slender body and white legs creates a picturesque scene against the backdrop of nature's beauty. The Banded demoiselle (Calopteryx splendens) male takes rest on grass heads near Lower Tamar Lakes. Its intricate wing patterns and metallic green coloration make it stand out among its surroundings. In another shot at Lower Tamar Lakes, we see this mesmerizing creature resting on dew-covered reeds or even perched delicately on a buttercup. A close-up detail of its head and thorax reveals just how intricate these insects truly are. The Calopteryx splendens showcases its unique features that set it apart from other species within this family. Moving onto Emerald damselflies (Lestes sponsa), we find ourselves captivated by their enchanting presence in Yorkshire during August. A focus-stacked image allows us to appreciate every minute detail of these graceful creatures as they bask in their natural habitat. In Cornwall's Broxwater pond bathed in early morning light, we witness the Male Azure damselfly (Coenagrion puella) showcasing its azure-blue hues against a serene backdrop—a sight that leaves us breathless with wonder. Silhouetted emerald damselflies resting on a reed in Devon, England create a striking image.
