Damselflies: Coral Red

These are called small red damselfly (Ceriagrion tenellum), koraaljuffer in Dutch, one of only two red species of damselflies in The Netherlands:

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 200mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/800s}

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/160s}

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 200mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/320s}

For them, foreplay mainly consists of grabbing your partner by the neck:

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO200, f8, 1/80s}

Heart-shaped mating (despite some inconsiderate photographer getting close enough to shoot at 28mm focal length):

^{Olympus XZ-1, 28mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/100s}

Thanks for watching!
