Damsel at Rest
This damselfly took a brief break from hectic flitting to and fro to pose for a portrait. It was not willing to stay long, so I’m happy I got a few snaps before it was on it’s way.
Damselflies are often confused with dragonflies. The easy identifying factor is that damselflies usually fold their wings together when at rest, aligned with the line of their body. Dragonflies usually rest with their wings spread out. This is another image from our recent hike on the Baird Creek trail system in Green Bay, WI.
You can get a better look at the lacey detail in the wings by clicking on the photo. That will open a larger, full-screen version of this image in a new browser tab.
