Scarce Blue-tailed Damselfly

Reference: DR36
Location: Latchmore Brook, New Forest
Gallery: Dragonflies,

Getting close to these insects was often impossible as the mat of floating Marsh St John’s Wort didn’t always feel strong enough to support my weight. In this image I love the soft backlit halo around the Scarce Blue-tail. You can just about see the diagnostic tail pattern.
