Just looked at Guy's image of the damsel with the dew on it so thought I'd upload my own dew covered insect. This is the morning after the previous upload.
I have been photographing these throughout the sunny spells we had last week and it was interesting to find these with dew on them even at 16c at 4.30am! I've been on site once when the temperature has been 18c this early in the morning but this has lead to no dew unfortunately and most of the butterflies were getting active, especially the Meadow Browns. There were quite a few flying round when I arrived on site. Interesting to see that butterflies will fly in warm enough temperatures, even though light levels were still quite low.
Comments and crits welcome.

The soft colours work well making the butterfly stand out.
