Wings In Flight

Below is a handful of photos taken of some of the Dragonflies and Damselflies that have visited my pond so far. I've always loved watching these delicate winged insects but only in the past few years have I started taking photos and learning more about them. I am not an expert & I have tried to ID them as accurately as possible & species names in books frequently change. So, if you see any that I have misidentified do let me know! Photos will be added when taken :-)

Damsels

Common Green Darner
Anax junius..

Neon Skimmer
Libellula croceipennis

Eastern Pondhawk (Green Clearwing)
Erythemis simplicicollis

Blue Dasher
Pachydiplax longipennis

Blue Dasher newly emerged, known at this stage in life as a "teneral". Here it has recently emerged from its larval skin and is finishing off drying out its wings before flying for the first time. To begin with the wings are held together over its back at which point the teneral is helpless. If knocked from its perch it will die. Only towards the end of drying does it spread out its wings. It will fly soon after this and the dragonfly is now full grown, it will not grow any larger, however small it is.
