Today was not a good day for insect photography–much too windy. A friend and I and my son Max went on an unsuccessful search for rare butterflies. We spent about six hours on the road, and went to a couple of prairie areas, but found some rain and cold weather. We only found one butterfly–a pearl crescent. I have those at home. In fact, I saw a couple, as well as a handful of other butterflies after we got home.
Dragonflies and damselflies have been more common this year, but it was still windy for photography. I found this damselfly, which is a female azure bluet, Enallagma aspersum.

How frustrating. Happens a lot though doesn’t it? Lovely bright sunny day, perfect for insects, then comes the wind.
True. But it wasn’t a lost day. As they say about fishing–it still beats staying inside.
Oh, perfectly beautiful image, as always!
I’ve tried to photograph these but never achieved the clarity of yours. Nice pic…
