Superb shots Lester. How do you differentiate the males from the females?

Hi Mat, they look different in most but not all specis.

For example the female emerald damselfly is actuly green rather than blue like the male.

Very probably, I tend to prefer the tighter perspective for larger subjects, but I might have used the 100 classic, just depends. The EXIF is intact so you can look it up.

A fabulous set of pics Lester - ooh seems a long time ago now. Love those Black darter shots, especially the mating pair.

Here's hoping we have a lovely warm and settled new season (when it arrives).

I love Dragons & Damsels. I'm in the tropics where I can shoot D&D the whole year round.

A very good series you have here.
