C. Virgo it is indeed, a male, known in the UK as a "beautiful demoiselle" and a very good shot of one as well. You obviously took great care with the limited DOF to get the insect lined up and in focus along its length. Sadly, the adults have all finished in the UK, and our awful summer floods probably means that next year will not be a good one as many nymphs were washed away.

Here there are still many of these insects ( for the next year, if you need some exemplars I'll send you some.....;))
