Red-eyed Damselfly - Erythromma najas
This species is quite widespread in water with floating surface vegetation.
I have seen a large numbers of Erythromma najas in tandem on Water Milfoil (Myriophyllum) . I suppose it is Myriophyllum !
Some of the pairs were copulating on the floating lief and some were, still in tandem laying eggs in the steam, under the water surface! See the WS!
The damselflies stayed under the surface for a very long time, at least half an hour!

Bonjour Brigitte,
Une image très intéressante nous montrant cette phase spécifique où les libellules en tandem déposent leurs oeufs. Une image bien réalisée, pas facile à faire et avec de belles couleurs. Ton collage du WS est aussi impressionnant.
Un grand mecri

Bonjour Brigitte,

Incredible capture, au bon moment. Grande approche, toutes les prises avec une grande maîtrise pour ne pas perdre le moment. Grande traitement de la haute luminosité permet la définition des eaux de surface. Une très belle macro, bien fait. Avec beaucoup d'art.

Hi Brigitte. A fine shot of the pair together and a bonus of them laying eggs in the water. You have taken this with fine detail and natural colours. I like the refection in the water. Well done TFS.
Nick..

Hello Brigitte,
A superb macro showing a pair of Erythromma najas in tandem while the female is ovipositing on water millfoil. The POV and composition are great and they stand out well against the water BG.
Thank you and have a nice weekend,
Ivan

Wow!

Hi briGitte,
nice and sharp shot of this creature. Beautifully composed that it looks like a painting. Nice blurry bg with sharp detailed subject of interest.
I like the clearness of the unbderwater scene.
Excellent capture briGitte.

Foozi
