A nice walk down the section of the Access Trail from the Victoria Road lay-by, focusing mainly on insects. I saw quite a few Azure Damselflies along the sunnier parts of the trail.
This is a male Azure Damselfly, Coenagrion puella.
This next male with a dip in its abdomen, is munching away on an aphid. Nice view of the beerglass on S2.
And here is a closer-up view, interesting to see how the pronotum is angled upwards.
This next picture is a female, a common dark variation on the blue homochromic form. The colours on the top of the head and thorax seem fairly pale - recently hatched perhaps?
