We spent an afternoon trying to photograph the damselflies on the lily pads down at Pin Mill. Not the easiest of insects to photograph, in fact, they proved quite a challenge. I think this is a common blue damselfly but I could be wrong I never realised how many different species there were. As with other damselflies, when common blues mate they form a 'mating wheel' in which the male clasps the female by the neck and she bends her body around to his reproductive organs.
