[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This damselfly is called "Otsunen-tombo" in Japanese

To pass the winter by the imago, it is light brown like dead leaf.

In general, damselflies are called "ito-tombo" in Japanese. It means "a dragonfly like string".

Hi Yasushi,

I have seen many images of damsel flies, but this one excels most of them. The fine details, the marvelous subdued light, the soft colours, perfect DOF etc. Congratulations. And a species is a first on TN !

Best regards
Dietrich

Hi Yasushi,
Very good picture of this damselfly,good light,colours and DOF.
Only determination is not correct in my opinion.
I think it's a female of Sympecma fusca.
