Day 21 of #libellente is Southern Emerald #damselfy, a species which breeds at very few sites in the UK and has an annoying preference for habitats that don't have public access. Most people go to a ditch in Canvey Island if they want to see it here. #invertebrates
A powdered dancer damselfly (Argia moesta) - either a male or a blue female - shot in profile while on a very light dry rock among the river bed facing the left of frame. They have black eyes and a blue powdery body with a long black abdomen.

Took a very slow, plodding walk at the battlefield this morning. Though, LUCKILY, I'm 90% over the covid snot and coughing, this bug is still kicking my ass with regards to stamina.
Speaking of bugs, have some nicer ones:

I'd been hoping the Azure damselfly was going to land for a photo, but this wasn't what I'd anticipated! It flew into the web of a Long-jawed Orb-weaver spider (Tetragnatha species). The spider seemed to be upon it almost immediately. Magor Marsh (Gwent WT), 24 May 2025. #damselfy #ukwildlife
Query Emerald Dragonfly
RFI please. This beastie just visited my garden (VC6) North Somerset. I'm afraid I only got this pretty awful phone shot. An Emerald of some sort? Thanks for any help. #dragonfly #damselfy
Text the colour of blueberry yogurt, in a sans serif font, against a space blue background. // The title reads "you win" in italics. // Then as follows: "Outrun. On roads in various stages of paving. And some in no stage at all. Cap n crew found elusive quarry. Almost within grasp. Alas. If only. Ye ole runner weren't faster. Wouldn't ever've evaded em. Maybe. They'll catch our runner. Next time. (A trap? Nah.) Ho hum. Tomorrow's another day. Let's give chase again." // Right aligned, the characters "~~~ ~~~" end the text.
The fastest ship in #Spelljammer 5e flew at only 8 mph. Here, one pursues a man on foot, running, below.
Gag aside, it'd take a loooong time to even clear the atmosphere.
Flying speed must follow a gradient... Down, from spelljamming speeds, to 8 mph at ground level... Or, something.
