Thanks for the email. I followed you...Hi Caroline,<br /><br />Thanks for the email. I followed your link and it was well worth it. The photos are very good indeed. I can shed some light on the identity of the subjects from the photos<br />1) Azure Damselfly (mating Pair)<br />2) Common Blue Damselfly (female)<br />3&4) Azure Damselfly (mating pair)<br />5) Scopion Fly<br />6,7&8) Four-spotted Chaser<br />9&10) Hairy Dragonfly (male)<br />The genus can appear quite daunting at first with lots of stuff appearing the same. There is lots of variation in each species also and this can complicate things somewhat. However, as you are able to take very good images of the dargonflies and damselflies it will provide you with a very good means of getting to know the key features. The FSC produce quite cheap identification sheets which can help anyone get started.vc41 dragonflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12603723249801373764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478882493164975499.post-13632309686553084242011-05-20T09:01:02.704+01:002011-05-20T09:01:02.704+01:00what amazing photos, such a lovely selection of da...what amazing photos, such a lovely selection of damsels and dragons!
