male or female?
paler than my earlier example but I read that they can change colour in different weather to regulate body temp - or perhaps the colour difference is gender-related?
Larvae sampled from Kaputone Stream in the Styx River catchment
The other day I uploaded a observation of a red coloured damsel fly, here is a black coloured damsel fly which is often seen with the red ones.
I included two photos, one a crop to emphasis the details of its face, with the other showing the flys entire body.
A small damselfly found beside a stream in Tai Tapu camp ground, saved from a spider web. Measured approx 35mm.
Damselfly nymph.
Any way of sorting out the species ??
A red damsel fly in my garden.
While at the Marina, saw these. Never seen them in that color before.

Exoskeleton shed by Cicada attached halfway up tent awning
Found at the base of a tree trunk within 5 m of the edge of Lake Victoria.
Another insect shell, quite a bit bigger then the cicadas. This was on a large poplar tree next to a creek.
