The green one is the female.- Ah, thanks Kay. So we have a lot of desperate males around! - Some of the blue ones will be desperate females. They come in both colours. Don't know a lot about mating damselflies, but the front one appears to be the male. He uses the end of his body to clasp the female around her neck. Thanks, Kay, we've certainly seen a few pairs looking for somewhere to lay eggs, flitting around the ponds and causing a flurry of delighted shrieks from children who spot them. They're such pretty little flashes of irridescence. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
