Popular place
This is the same pile as my former post. Obviously a very popular place to emerge, considering the amount of exuvia on it. The ones on top are Blue-tailed Damselflies which have just emerged. The one below is either an adult male or female. The image clearly shows the difference in colouration between young and adult damsels.
Nikon D80 with Sigma 150 mm, iso 200, RF 11, 1/40 sec on a tripod.

The more you look the more you see, an educational piece for sure, thanks for sharing.

Obviously the place to be if you are a B-TD! Nice educational shot. The lower one is a male (the other two females).

Interesting story. I was wondering if it was possible to crop the bottom so that you only had entire animals/exuviae in the shot. It doesn't seem possible to me, which just emphasises what a superb spot it is.
