[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
There were several of these flying around on the banks of the Loire. When flying around they looked like moths with large black opaque wings, but once settled they looked like dragonflies.

It's a damselfly, similar to our ebonywing.

Excelent shot of this beauty and well done on the composition.

Hi Gary, I agree with Mike it is a Banded Demoiselle (Calopteryx splendons).
Nice capture of these lovely damsels.

  • Great

Nice shot of this damselfly Gary. Good details and Pov. Nicely composed too.
Well done.

Hi Gary,
this is a wonderful shot of the blue damselfly.
I love those insects so much, it's always so amazing for me if I see one of them.
Yours has so pretty metallic-colours and the white flower is a beautiful contrast.
Very well done, thanks
