My World: Damselflies

Enallagma carunculatu

This is a tule bluet damselfly on an oak tree sapling that I followed in the woods a few days ago. I truly love walking in my woods up the mountain in pursuit of photos. This is my world!

Calopteryx maculata

Species: Calopteryx maculata on bugguide.net

Damselflies are insects and have six legs.

This Ebony Jewelwing damselfly is one of 170 damselfly species in New England. It is one of only five nearactic (arctic and temperate parts of North America and Greenland) species of the Calopteryx genus. They are pretty noticeable as they fly about because their wings are solid black.

Dragonflies on the Blackwater River

  

My dragonfly and damselfly guide book is still packed and I can’t find it. Hopefully I will be able to identify these in the future. These flies were so plentiful when we kayaked on the Blackwater River that it made you glad to be alive. I think these are some of the best dragonfly shots I have gotten so far. And since I took these, I have learned more!

City Daily Photo Theme Day: No Swimming, Campfires or Camping at May Pond

May Pond, directly over the ridge from my house, is the source of water for the Village of Barton. I am in Barton Town, so I have a well. The only NO signs I could think of are here at the pond. Below is another NO sign at the pond: No invasive species are to be transported into the pond or you are subject to a fine of up to $1,000. While Grandson Wingnut and I were there (with Scout the Dog), I took other photos to show you the area.

Lilly pads on a quiet section of the pond. Horrible glare.

A brown damselfly. I had no time to identify these damsel and dragon flies and butterflies. I will work on the identifications this week and update the post.
