Ischnura elegans female, I think.

I have already published a picture of a female belonging to this species, but not with the same colours, this one is another form of this species (perhaps infuscans?).

This female is eating a tiny fly (Rivellia syngenesiae, picture posted few weeks ago)

Hello Mariki
I really dont know about the id for sure..(im often wrong but improving!!)
But I do know that you have captured a great picture of this ? feeding on a Rivellia syngenesiae which is amazing that you can ID that at all!!
If I am honest then your focus picked up the leaf more than the subject..As I have said before I would love to see your Macro work taken with an slr and a Macro lense.
All the Best
Paul

Hi Marie,
I like your POV showing the slim damselfly over a slim leaf. A pity head zone is a little bit out of focus, but´s nice pic.
Greetings

Hi Marie,
Nice capture of this damselfly in her natural environment, with her prey. Composition and OOF background is very nice. Can't help with the ID.
Thanks.

Hi Marie,
A lovely capture of this beautiful Damselfly. Superb details and a lovely composition. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Now that you have mentioned it, I can see the fly in this damselfly's mouth, Marie.
The curiously shaped leaf with the Damselfly on it makes an interesting composition.
Very good sharpness and colours.
Thanks and take care.

Hello Mariki,
This is a fine capture of the female Ishnura elegans with good focus on the eye. I like her pose on the pretty leaf. Beautiful colours and a fine contrasting background too.
TFS and regards, Ulla
