New Species - Azure Damselfly


I saw a blue damselfly a few days ago and assumed it was a Common Blue Damselfly. Today there were a few damselflies about and I managed to get a picture of the blue. It took a long time but eventually I identified it as an Azure Damselfly based on the shape of the black markings on segment 2 and the markings on segment 9. I never thought I would get that deeply into damselfly markings.
