The Goblet-marked damselfly (Erythromma lindenii) is a medium-sized blue-and-black (or green-and-black) damselfly in the pond damselfly family (Coenagrionidae). It's a fairly common species in the South and West of Europe but is not found in the British Isles, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. Erythromma lindenii was previously known as Coenagrion lindenii and Cercion lindenii. The Goblet-marked Damselfly is also known as the Blue-eye. It's an easily recognized species, with its wide antehumeral stripes, narrow postocular spots, the male's very bright-blue eyes. He has very long and curved appendages, and the spear-shaped marks on S3-S6 of his abdomen.

It can also be found in Asia: Russian Federation and it is also found in Africa.

Hallo Hans,
Prachtige foto van deze libel met alleen de stengel waar hij op zit in beeld. Dat vestigt alle aandacht op het beestje. Goede bijpassende achtergrond. Schitterend gedaan. Prima scherpte en compositie.
Groetjes,
Peter

Hallo Hans,

hello Hans,
Hope you'll be doing fine. Nice to meet you my friend. I am thankful you commented on my recent photo of Owlfly and helped in its identification. Love this elegant photo of damselfly by you, it has some fine and exquisite colours and as it quite small, you have photographed it with such sharp focus, the insect seems alive. Thanks for sharing and all your support....take care...warmest regards/Abid
