Our small garden pond has been hosting at least three pairs of Azure Damselflies again recently. The hot weather and bright sunshine has made them very active and I've been watching them pair up and oviposit. There have ben a number of teneral adults and during the early spring we also found a number of larvae.
Tenerals are newly emerged adults and are much paler and almost tranluscent in appearance. They get darker with age and it can take days or weeks to develop their full colour.
