From this morning - he flew onto the gaillardia I was looking at and I had my compact Nikon in hand. Just cropped this a bit. Another possible for the contest as the colors are all cool.

Yes, I agree, it would make a great entry in the contest with this green filling the frame and the touch of blue of this dameselfly...a cool capture...best of luck should this be your choice.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

It would work for the contest Kathy if you decide to use it. I know how small these critters are, and you have a superb capture here.

A 'cool' one indeed, Kathy. A very fine one too.
I'm not a specialist in Damselflies, so I wonder how you could know that it's male male one, lol. Could be that, in contrary of the human world, that the male ones are more handsome/colorful than the female ones.

If this will your entry: Good Luck with it, my friend.

It always struck me about these guys how long the thorax is. There must be a reason. Nice closeup.
