Photo showing a male blue damselfly perched on a small reed growing at the edge of a water garden. This European damselfly is pictured taking a rest from flying, warming itself up in the strong sunshine and preparing to fly off, with its wings raised. Other names for this species include common / northern bluet or common blue, while the Latin name is: Enallagma cyathigerum. It is often mistaken for the very similar Azure damselfly (Latin name: Coenagrion puella).
