I took this pic this afternoon. Is this a different species to the Blue Damselfly or a different sex ? Is the male blue and female green or vice versa.
Thanks
Ian

Thanks Brian.
I took the macro out today as the birds were high in the canopy. I really enjoyed it and should do it more often. I'm always looking at what others are posting and will try to post more myself in future.
Cheers
