Colour Challenge: Two Damselflies
Two damselflies found close together, but of different species:
A large red damselfly (Pyrrhosoma nymphula), vuurjuffer in Dutch:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 200mm, ISO200, f8, 1/200s
The (rarer) small red damselfly (Ceriagrion tenellum), koraaljuffer in Dutch:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f8, 1/125s
Both found in the Armenveen, a peat bog in the East of The Netherlands.
Beautiful photos as always. ☺
Thank you! 8-)
This are two real beautiful species and you realized nice shots of them! I love the contrast of the red color on the green leaves.
Thanks! I always hope these red ones sit down on something green.
Most of the time they do, I guess. 😃😉
You would think so, but they like twigs and dried brown grass as well. I tried to talk them out of this, but with limited success 8-).
A real pro, I see and a damselfly whisperer just as well! 😃😉
Have a wonderful week and keep on steeming, bro!
