What is this Plez ? Its the 1st Long Flying Thing iv seen by My Pond :)

I'd like to know what it is, is'nt there a dragon fly called a mayfly, wondered if it was one of them, and it is may.

Lovely photo Jacque , isn,t it pretty , we need to get our books out !

Hhhhhhhhhmmmm its not a MayFly Clarice just Googled that 1 :) What books do u have Amy? :)

I think it mite be a Damsel Fly? :)

If you have a look at my recent photo's I think I have posted one the same and I have put it down as a Damsel Fly.Very good photo you have taken there Jacque....

Just took a Peak & its the same Tina :) Thanx for your help :)

Very elegant. Oh, to be tall and thin :)

looks like a dragon fly, but i might be wrong, looked at damselfly and that was blue body,,

Hi Jacque, I think its a Damselfly - looks like a Large Red Damselfly in my book. They appear from April - too early for a dragonfly.

Hi Jacque , sorry it,s been so long , i,ve been out !!

I must have the same book as Dawn I think it,s the Red damselfly .... Pyrrhosoma nymphula ....
There's another one similar ... Common sympetrum .... but I,m pretty sure it,s the first one ............

I agree Amy - my books says they have large black legs and he males have red eyes (maybe yours is a female Jacque), yellow bodies at first, growing gradually redder - 36mm in length. We're like detectives Amy, lol.

very pretty colour anyway,,and great shot jacque

We make a good team don,t we Dawn ...LOL..

Oh yes Amy - first mistletoe now damselflies, ha ha.

It's a damselfly..you get these in all sort of colours..great pic Jacque

Lovely photo Jacque...

Its a stalk winged Damselfly Jacque...........beautiful arent they.........

Damselfly is my guess, great shot Jac!

Nice photo, we have the matalic blue Damselflies round our small pond. I love watching them darting about.

Thanx all for your Great Help & Lovely Comments :)

Hi Jacque, Amy is dead right. It is the Large Red Damsel Fly.
You can always tell the difference between a damsel and a dragon fly as the dragon fly has its wings at ninety degrees to its body when it is at rest whilst the damsel fly holds its wings parallel to its body when at rest.

Thanx Toto iv never seen 1 of these b4 & it was by My Pond so im rite chuffed :)

Fabulous pic Jacque...great colours.........

He/she was basking in the Morning Sun Shine :)
