Re: Damselfly (Aztec Dancer?)
You have nicely captured both the plant and damselfly there, Rollin.
Looks very similar to the UK Azure Damselfly (Coenagrion puella).

Re: Damselfly (Aztec Dancer?)
I agree. I particularly like the blurred background as it sets off the subject well. Great sharpness on the damselfly and plant.

Re: Damselfly (Aztec Dancer?)
Thank you Geoff and Trevor. My knowledge of Dragonflies and Damselflies is limited to a book covering the Southwestern US. The number of species of the Odonata world wide is staggering, not to mention proper identification of so many similar sub-species, so this image may very well be one of the many other Pond Damsels.
