Banded Demoiselles

I spent Monday afternoon sitting in a stream near Bedford surrounded by male Banded Demoiselles, all intent on finding and capturing a female. When a female did arrive, she was pounced on and taken up into the vegetation for mating. The White-legged Damseflies were also attacked by the Demoiselles. Thanks Richard for sharing the wonderful experience.
