Damselflies: Azure Blue Part Two

This damselfly is hard to distinguish from the species I posted about yesterday, but it is different.

Really, it is.

It is called common blue damselfly (Enallagma cyathigerum), watersnuffel in Dutch:

^{Olympus XZ-1, 28mm, ISO250, f5.6, 1/100s}

The female has a different colour:

^{Olympus XZ-1, 28mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/800s}

A third species in the same colour is the blue-tailed damselfly (Ischnura elegans), lantaarntje in Dutch:

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/320s}

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/200s}

^{Olympus XZ-1, 112mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/125s}

^{Olympus XZ-1, 28mm, ISO200, f8, 1/200s}

The female of this species:

^{Olympus XZ-1, 28mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/60s}

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 200mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/200s}

I hope to see them all again this summer and get some better shots.

Thanks for watching!
