Damselflies - maybe

The Diary has bought a new camera.  It's exactly the same as the old one, a Panasonic, so the buttons do roughly the same things as before, but it has more pixels, a faster burst speed and, perhaps most important, an amazing LCD screen on the back which twists and turns around, enabling very close pictures to be taken of very small objects.

The photographing of things which were quite impossible before has, inevitably, resulted in serious problems in identification.  The dragon fly / damsel fly groups are an example.  These pictures were all taken in the last month or so but identifying individuals in a group which have always previously remained a mystery is causing serious problems.

The one above may be one of the Demoiselles, perhaps a male Beautiful Demoiselle.  It was seen along the banks of the Sanna Burn.

This may be an Azure Damselfly but it might be a Variable Damselfly - they are, apparently, easily confused.  It stopped long enough to have its picture taken on the banks of Lochan an Dobhrain.

The identity of this superbly camouflaged damselfly remains a mystery, but it was found near Achnaha.  It may not be a damselfly but a dragonfly.

In many ways, what humans happen to call them isn't as important as the pleasure that can be found in marvelling at another of Nature's wonders.
