Banded Demoiselle, Devon
Always nice to capture the simple things…
The banded demoiselle is a large damselfly which lives along the edges of slow-flowing rivers and canals, still ponds and lakes and amongst lush vegetation. So named for the distinctive ‘fingerprint’ mark on the males’ wings, banded demoiselles are very territorial, performing fluttering display flights to win over females. They are on the wing from May to August.
