    What's this photo about?

    A title and description can provide essential detail about this photo.

    A damselfly and her shadow

    Calopteryx maculata, or the Ebony jewelwing damselfly. Also, thanks to trying to figure out what bug this is, I now finally know the difference between dragonflies and damselflies.

      Great shot! I love the shadow. It's almost like she's looking in a mirror. I never heard of damselflies before, but I've certainly seen them. If I didn't call them Dragonflies, I called them Sewing Needles. Now, however, I will call them Damsleflies!

      I always called them sewing needles as well. Nice catch. Where are you finding these bugs that sit still and pose for you?

      wow, I'm really looking forward to baby pictures, ha ha!
