amselflies, which are similar to but smaller than dragonflies, are found in a large number of colors though blue seems t
o be the most common. Not just any ho-hum blue, mind you, but rich, vibrant azure hues ranging from deep cobalt through jewel-like turquoise.
The species Enallagma cyathigerum, or the Common Blue Damselfly is said to be “the bluest of the damselflies.” Found across the UK and most of Europe, the Common Blue Damselfly is a favorite subject for wildlife photographers – looking at these images it’s no wonder why.
