The price one pays for macro photography. Rarely am I attacked by mosquitoes. But today was quite an exception. So exceptional, that I tested my new Nexus 1 mobile phone - not a bad macro - and geo tagged also
Walking to my spider place, I passed this damselfly. Since I rarely see them, I stopped
Another damselfly
Then a pair mating - I was quite lucky indeed. This is position 3, with the lower damselfly holding the stem
This is position 2 - with the lower damselfly not holding the stem
This is position 1 - with the lower damselfly also horizontal with the upper damselfly. The lower damselfly is the female, I believe see Dragonfly and Damselfly photos
