I heard of them being called 'sewing needles' when I was a kid and I thought that is what they would do to me, so I ran from them as fast as I could. LOL I know I've seen it called a blue damsel before. You got him good too. Great closeup, Jan!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

If you have some minutes why don't you come visiting my gallery ?
Cindy called them sewing needles, I called them darning needles and had the same aversion, LOL. Beautiful shot, Jan, pinpoint focus on the body.

My grandmother, since we're swapping stories here, told me that they would sew my hair together (I wore braids a lot back then) so I wasn't in the vicinity when they were around. This is an excellent shot, and even though I like the IR filter, I don't think it would have done this natural beauty justice :)

Wonderful Capture Jan. It's actual real name is "Familiar Bluet", from the Pond Damsel Family. Your lucky to get this great shot. Good Work.

What a lovely creature, all irisdescent blue. The clarity is fantastic and I like the light on the green leaves. You've caught those gossamer wings so well. She's a perfect inhabitant of this magical place. Kudos Jan. :)

Hey Jan,
Beautiful picture, you've done a great job here, perhaps you could try out taking an IR image of a damsel, they tend to stay put for a few minutes if you get lucky, (~8 8~)
Nicely done,
Thanks for sharing

"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe
It looks like a piece of jewelry and yes, I would wear it. The way you captured it makes it simply looks great.

It's hard to not shoot these guys. This one is exceptionally pretty up so close as you were. Very nice! ~Mary~

Gorgeous little critter you've captured here and you've captured it wonderfully. I'm surprised you got that close - they are jumpy little things normally. Great image, Jan -
