Aurora Bluetail (1/10)

Odonata: Coenagrionidae

Ischnura aurora  

Male Aurora Bluetail Damselfly.

This is a beautiful little damselfly. It is tiny, about two centimetres long, and was difficult to get a good view of amongst the thick grass in an area of marsh.

It was only spotted in the first place by noticing the smallest of movements, like a single hair waving two metres away, but luckily with a tiny light-blue flag on the end.
