Excellent shot, Weja, but a strange name for a damselfly, as, surely, no Zygoptera could live through a Siberian winter!

Trik Goldmember More info | Sep 15, 2019 16:25 | #813 Weja wrote in post #18927321  Trik There are two species of them here in the Netherlands. They are the only two that goes as a adult damselfly through the winter. They can produce a sort of anti freeze and survive the winter. They can have easily minus ten degrees. The max lays around minus 18, so they will not survive a real Siberian winter. https://www.rootsmagazine.nl …nter-hoe-zit-dat-precies/ Weja Thanks for the link you gave, Weja - amazing shot of the damselfly covered in ice crystals. It seems a dangerous life cycle for them to over-winter as an adult rather than as a nymph like other species, but maybe it means that they can get a head-start on other odonata in Spring.
