I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)
These are 2 different Damselflies that decided to land on my hand! So decided to get photos of them, as you do! On a rare day when I didn't have my nails painted haha!
Creo que era un caballito del diablo, lo que se posó en mis cables de tender la ropa y cuando me acercaba se iba a otro cable. Antes pensaba que era una libélula. Es fácil caer en la confusión.
They are both quite different. Damsels have a thin body and wings closed at rest, while dragonflies have a bigger body and wings are open at rest. They are both beautiful creatures. Thanks :-D

Delete...next time, be prepared!
ReplyDeleteHaha yes I will :-D
DeleteI hope they weren't disappointed. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! They seemed to be happy. Thanks Bill :-D
DeleteGreat photo, Ananka! Maybe, if you were to prepare your nails, that unusual insect would not land on your fingers ☺️
ReplyDeleteWell you never know! Could be. Glad you like them. Thanks :-D
Deleteprecious
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine :-D

ReplyDeleteVery skinny! Thanks Kirk :-D
DeleteThey are so streamlined!
ReplyDeleteHaha yes they are. Thanks :-D
DeleteUy lindo bicho.
ReplyDeleteThey are cute :-D Thanks :-D
DeleteTheir heads are like those on ants---- No negatives intended. I see occasional dragonflies here, but I'm not sure that I've seen one of these.
ReplyDeleteNone taken, I actually like ants! Ants are cool. We have a few of both around middle of summer time.Thanks Bill :-D
DeleteI think damselflies don't like painted nails!
ReplyDeleteThey probably don't! Thanks Irina :-D
DeleteYour nails look better in their natural state and the damselflies obviously agreed. Be sure to heed their wisdom!
ReplyDeleteThanks David, though I usually paint mine all the time as you will see I have 2 other blogs about nail polishes and been blogging since 2011 haha! :-D
