  4. Stoked to see this journal cover of PNAS with one of my photos: a mating pair of Swamp Bluet (Africallagma glaucum) from Harold Porter Botanical Garden in the Western Cape Province of South Africa, photographed in 2011.

  5. A male Beautiful Demoiselle (Calopterix virgo). At 45mm long, this is (along with the Banded Demoiselle) one of the UK’s two largest Damselfly species, and with its metallic body colour it is also a striking one that lives up to its name. Photographed at Upton Warren in Worcestershire in May.

  6. The circle of life. A mating pair of Variable Damselflies (Coenagrion pulchellum), at RSPB Ham Wall in Somerset at the beginning of this month, in the ‘wheel’ or ‘heart’ formation, which is unique to Dragonflies and Damselflies.

  11. Haven't even gotten around to IDing stuff yet, too tired to hashtag assiduously, but here's just a few finds!

    - this gorgeous damselfly, I just went real slow to get close enough with the macro lens
    - lots of these cockroaches, native _Parcoblatta_ I think
    - an extremely pregegnant ant-mimic jumping spider, _Synemosyne_ I think
    - lots of huuuge isopods!

  12. Spent some time hanging out with some blue #damselflies at the lake before coming back home 😊

    Damselflies have existed since the Late #Jurassic period & found on every continent except Antarctica. Presence of damselflies & the larger dragonflies, indicates a healthy #ecosystem.
