Widow Skimmer dragonfly and Sedge sprite damselfly, Tomahawk Pond, Orkney Springs, Virginia, Libellula luctuosa, Nehalennia irene
Sedge Sprite, Nehalennia irene - Edmonton, Hawrelak Park
Sedge Sprite (male) Nehalennia irene Family Coenagrionidae Bill Mason Centre, Dunrobin, Ontario 29 June 2009 Damselflies are much smaller than a typical dragonfly, and can be very difficult to see as they zip between blades of grass.  This sedge sprite, which measures no more than 3cm (1in.) in size, was nearly impossible to track with my eyes, let alone determine that I had the correct focus when I took the shot.  My camera's autofocus is all but useless for the tiny damselflies.
