Banded demoiselle
Banded demoiselle perched on the roof of the woodshed. The toddler was delighted.

We get these damselflies as well as dragonflies flitting through our canal-side garden every year, but they don’t often stop and say hello.

Absolutely stunning. We don't get them much in my part of the world, but the only place I've seen them is also by a canal.

What a fabulous photo! I sometimes see damselflies down by the brook but they're always in flight.

Amazing colours, wow! Google tells me we have damselflies in Australia but I've only seen ever seen dragonflies.

They tend to be confused easily. They'll tend to sit with their wings closed, like nanila's photo. Blue and black ones are the most common, but they are generally very tiny and skinny.
