Damsel emergence

Having arrived home from a The Burgh I was enjoying a cup of tea by the garden pond when I noticed that a Damsel Fly larva had emerged on one of the reed stems that I had carefully positioned for the Dragonflies. A dash for the camera and by the time I had got back emergence had started, the whole sequence took 82 minutes to first flight. I hope that I have captured the essence of it in the following nine frames.


Best guess  - Common Bluetail (Ischnura elegans)



Emergence  at 1242  - E
